hacked PP?

Hacked plat can still happen today probably, think of all the people who sell plat online, RL money for plat online.

Seafuries used to be better than they are now. I used to share Seafuries with MAYBE one other person for the longest time. I would be raking in so much money I couldn't even spend it all at one point.

Forget worrying about how expensive or cheap stuff is


it's more fun to go kill whatever has the gear you want anyways ;p

Prices arent that bad. Only rare raid gear is outrageous (velious will solve most of that). VLike someone said, midrange stuff is priced well.

10k for an FBSS during kunark seems reasonable. 6k for GEBs is extremely reasonable.

idk, I bought fbss for 3k, Sarnak Battle Shield for 2.4k, Moss for 2k....this kind of prices ... and I got my Ceremonial Ikky BP from softskin I killed in Karana [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It was on Rallos Zek, roughly 6 months after Kunark was out.

I didn't play on PvP servers, but my guess is that farming platinum was much more difficult there, keeping downward pressure on prices.

Honestly though, as I've said before, the prices for *decent* items like fbss/sbs seem to be roughly pegged to how long it takes to camp them, and how much straight plat you could farm in that time.

If you can farm plat at a rate of 1.5k/hour, and it takes 6 hours to camp an FBSS, why would you want to sell it for less than 9k?

I would also think that having a low population (demand) would pander to that behavior as well.

Supply and demand > how long it takes to camp. If its not time efficient to camp it then people wouldn't camp it, they would farm plat or camp something else, only people who would camp it would be those wanting to use it and not able to farm plat.

Its either in huge demand from twinks, or people don't mind a 12k price due to too much plat (plat competition) or its not being farmed much (not likely) or a combination of one or more of those.

Whatever the issue is, its pretty bad for attracting newer players to the server and keeping them, especially warriors.

This thread should have been about John Wayne Bobbit.
It can still be saved...

yeah if you use way back machine (which basically serves snapshots of websites from the past), look at gear prices in Kunark era, all I keep seeing is 4k, 5k, 3k on FBSS, nothing near 12k.

A server with low pop should have prices at the lower end of that range.

Edit: Just fyi, I'm not complaining lol, I'll camp a FBSS myself just commenting! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
