EQ Economy

[jakerees]

Supply and demand my friend. If the supply is high, then the people of Colorado are happy. If the demand is high then we are all in trouble like my cousin Jeff who puts too many bets down on the boat races, but they aren't even like speed boats, we're talking like big freighters going across the ocean. I don't know how he even does it but one day he's all cigars and women and the next he's looking over his shoulder so "Ramon" doesn't find him.

Pretty simple. The items are constantly popping. There is no slowing this. Supply is really high which makes demand low.

Yup supply and demand. Just means there is more supply than demand. My guess is many new players go to Agnarr instead of P99.

A lot of it has to do with the Trade Deficits between Antonica and Kunark, Kunark is producing a lot more raw goods then Antonica. While there is more money flowing and valuable goods in Antonica overall, it is largely subsisting off of imports. It would in theory add inflation to the PP, which in some cases it would, but according to the CPI (Consumer Price Index), the overall cost of goods and services is seeing a deflation. Many think this is because of the way the PP is rigged, and confidence is high for consumer goods and services.

The real problem is that back around late 2000 the labor which kept Antonica financially stable and producing raw goods for the East Commonlands was essentially outsourced to Kunark. The EC market traders realized they could get not only a higher price for goods out of Kunark, but for half the cost. Why pay someone from Antonica to travel BOTH ways to sell back in EC, when they could just get an Iksar to farm the goods and it would only cost half the price since they only need to go from Kunark to Antonica, not back and forth ?

Of course while things APPEAR to be better in Antonica for the PP and price of goods and services, it's all smoke and mirrors and it's only a matter of time until the confidence falls and Gold takes the reins as the historical and practical means of holding your wealth.

In short, BUY GOLD NOW !

Hit the nail on the head. Less available platinum from time spent (barring extreme luck on ultra rare drops) = more revenue for the RMT'ers. Hence the reason they were unclassically nerfed. Why am I the only one who can see this. You fill in the blanks.

I thought we cleared it up a while back - EQ is not supply and demand, and you're an idiot if you think so. There was no further explanation.
