Anything worth "alot" of money will become overfarmed. Nothing is wrong with the drops, sorry you don't know how to win EC.

I think its funny that only people who are currently level 60 ever say things like this.

Sorry for my sarcasm :P
I'm all for laissez-faire, economically and experience rate-aly.

Has nothing to do with me not knowing how to win at EC. It's all about trying to figure out a way to make P99 last longer...as some as said though, it may be better to just reset P99 in 1-2 years?

The thing that alot of people aren't really thinking about is having more people with access to uber loot = faster leveling. On EQ Live, i NEVER had a fungi tunic...in fact I would friggin drool over owning one. On here, I can buy a dozen of them if i wanted...

There is no long-term goal here...a lot of people like to twink secondary characters, so they make it a long-term goal to twink their new toon up. On EQ Lives it took me months to gear my new toon up.

Having more high-end loot in the system = more people selling them to purchase a powerlevel (people that normally wouldnt do this but since everyone has one these people can do this now)...simple as that (easiest way I can explain it).

Anyways it was just a thought (and a better option than increasing the exp rate).

QFT. It is what it is because of lower population. P99 will last with or without your god sent words of loldom.

Never really seen the reason to concern myself with the market in MMOs. If I paid 60k for a fungi tunic 4 months ago and someone buys one today for 30k is that going to make me quit the game? No.

Should someone quit playing an MMO they enjoy because of the price of an item? Only if their concern is to earn the most pp on the server.

i traded a hierophants cloak for a fungi tunic during the early days of velious, when both were going for between 18 and 25k...so im not sure what caused your servers prices to be retarded. dumb idea is dumb

New content makes P99 last longer, not artificially adjusting drop rates on items that you are currently upside down on.

Shut your mouth! Casual players like myself reap the benefits when all the people playing 10 hours a day scramble to get loot and flood the market. Good things come to those who wait. I don't feel sorry for anybody who spent 220k on a Fungi Tunic because they wanted instant gratification. They got what they paid for, they could have waited, but they wanted it immediately. I can stand back and let them spend their millions of plat and wait patiently for prices to go down.
