Sacrafice the few for the many?

Really any money sink that was for fluff items (or even make the items no drop, that would solve the issues as well. Buy a no drop manastone for 100k) would not be detrimental, other than the age old argument (it's not classic). But as you have stated...we are 1.5 years past classic at this point.

I like this idea! Guises for everyone!!

You sound like my wife! =D

Like some people and myself have stated in this thread, prices are actually down from a year ago, quite a bit down on most high end items. The only item I have seen increase in price is manastones.

And not to sound elitist...but the people complaining about prices are new players who see this huge price for a fungi tunic,(half what it was a year ago but again...who needs logic and facts). What they dont seem to get is if they progress and lvl as intended they too can go farm a fungi or any number of items that sell for a lot and all of a sudden...they have money to get what they want.

If they think they should be able to afford a fungi on their first character at lvl 20 they are deluded.

I just got my first fungi and I've been playing since 2010. Granted, it is on my level 21 shaman.

Yep, people look at their McDonalds cheeseburger and consider it unfair that there's a guy in a restaurant over the road cutting into a juicy steak...

Anyone can start today, and once they have a character in the 40s they can begin camping a lot of stuff and start earning their fortunes from there. There's other ways with the sister camp in LFay etc but overall if you want to be "above par" in line with the average amount of plat in the bank you're going to have to work at it.

Starting a new server only leads to the same gripes a year from launch, people just have a strange inability to process that they can be as rich on an old server as they can on a new server...both take some work.

I'm actually comparing to the prices I remember from live. For instance I was quoted 1600pp for a shield that I sold several of for less than 200 back in the day. So no, it's not just the very high level gear that has crazy prices. Every item seems crazy inflated because there is so much extra plat. I can't even afford level appropriate newbie gear on my character because I'm new to 99.

I was even told by 3 different jewelcrafters in EC that they wouldn't bother making gold or electrum jewelry. The one who finally did it for me charged me 3X the combine cost when jewelers used to gladly do it for cost just to get the skill increase for making it.

Right now I'd like to just find a simple magic weapon to kill wisps with. If they are out there none seem to be selling them. If it doesn't sell for 1000pp then no one even bothers with auctioning it. It's just not worth their time and effort.

Its not the end of the world. Anyone who has played on a day 1 server has used mundane gear for many, many levels.

Sony added the Luclin casino by this point where you had a tiny chance of getting a manastone/guise for example.

This would be a fantastic idea. There's a casino in Highkeep that could maybe get tweaked to support this. I have a feeling that the "not classic" folks will chime in, though.

I'd rather have a non-classic casino in place than the non-classic economy we currently have, though. This casino wouldn't have as big of an impact on players as the economy currently does.
