This post is purely about currency inflation, please keep talk of items or twinking to a minimum.

Maybe you didn't mean to, but you really were.

Modern MMOs require you to have a certain quality of gear to play the game, because gear is like 3/4 or more of what makes your character effective. But that's not how it works in EQ
????

What? Twinking IS effective in EQ. Please explain your response.

I didn't say twinking wasn't effective in EQ. I said that gearing up is REQUIRED in modern MMOs, and people seem to forget that is not the case in EQ.

It's silly to be hung up over the price of gear in EC because you don't need any of the gear from EC to play the game.

4 minutes after OP made this post, the concept of a plat wipe was destroyed.

Maybe you're missing the fact that high end items costing a lot means when you win a roll on that nice item, you sell it for a lot. So yeah, the server has been around for quite some time and there is certainly far more plat on the server than there was at this point in Live. The thing is though... it doesn't matter. It's all relative. As the value of items goes up, player's average incomes go up. You can make far more plat on here with your time than you could at this point in time on live. It still seems that the low-end gear is appropriately priced and sure, 100pp isn't going to matter to those with much more wealth. It will matter to those who needs a suit of bronze. It's the law of diminishing marginal utility and you can't stop that train!!

Fine. Destroy all the plat today. I'm sure all of us dudes with fungis sitting around collecting dust will be happy to sell them to you for 500pp a week from now.
