There's no farming bone chips for sale or pelts, as no players have plat. You can only farm vendor-able items to get there. Try making a new toon now on blue and see how long it takes to get 200p with no handouts or player interactions.

I'm sorry you suck at EQ. Would you like to wager 10,000 plat on blue that I can't raise 200 plat with a new character within four hours?

I see you're new here. Weird that hundreds of players I've given free banded to tell me what a huge difference the AC makes when you're just starting out.

Holy shit don't be such a drama queen. The assistance I need is minimal. I can raise the plat myself.

Then raise the plat and shut the fuck up. I'm sorry YOU suck at EQ, "oh, I need a small team of people to farm for me and I'll give you banded combines" -gets flamed-, "you suck at EQ, I can farm the money myself no problem! I was just giving YOU this awesome opportunity to help ME out. I was definitely going to tell all my friends and followers how awesome you were though but you missed out!". Sounds like a fucking choosy beggar to me

I don’t get the hate here. He’s offering to do free combines once he’s made banded trivial. That’s of value for sure.

The post had two parts. The first paragraph offered something for free to other players, and as you noted it's hard to find fault with that.

I think what rubbed a lot of people wrong was the second paragraph, and the implication that others would want to help the OP get his smithing skill for him (at significant personal cost, because they could instead be helping build up their own Green character in the server's earliest days) just because they want to "be a part of something unique":

How can you make hundreds of plat within hours of the launch of a new server? It will take a bit of cooperative action but I know the camps. I'll need a small team willing to start in the same city. I've done it before. When Vallon Zek launched in 1999 I traveled to Kelethin within 48 hours of launch and gifted 200 plat to the elves to aid in the defense of their lands. Please reply if you're interested in being a part of something unique.

Yeah I know on blue he was going out of his way to give new players free banded and some plat.
What people are bashing him for is him asking others for help to farm plat so he can get max banded. But I see nothing wrong with this, I'm sure in return you will be part of the "group" that gets credit for this.

I for one I won't be helping, because at my leveling speed by the time I can farm those plat camps, we are probably already at the launch of Kunark.

He's asking for people to fund his skill ups and hell combine an item for you after you buy him materials on top of funding previous trade skilling.

Like, he's asking for a whole group of people to be his personal farm team.
