My biggest beef is with the Item price tracker. it is totally unfair to sellers
What if one player got an item with his level 60 main with ease and another guy got an item after getting killed 3 or 4 times. Why should the later be forced to meet some arbitrary price set on some webpage? It does not reflect its true worth to the seller. Nothing I hate more than seeing Auctions "WTB This and that for this much". Since when does the buyer determine the price? And it will most likely bring down prices because then people will actually start considering the items benefit and stats instead of following the ridiculously inflated Wiki prices. | ||

Correct, we do not need our eq spoon fed to us. But no one is forcing anyone to do anything. So... derp?

Well the P99wiki is more classic than ZAM (Alla) is, since that site is now overloaded with info from Live. So much has changed, I say leave the wiki up. At least it is relevant to what is on our server.
I have used that internet wayback machine thing to look up stuff on caster's realm or the old Alla site from back then, but it is too unreliable. Timing out or unable to get a response etc. I also used to print out my own quest, spell and class info as well as maps and binder it up all nice. I think it was lost in a flood.

I remember Reapin as the guy who was trying to sell a pair of Mithril Greaves for 6k awhile ago (about double the market price at the time). I think that explains his rage against the auction tracker. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between honest trading (buying low, selling high and pocketing the spread) and shamelessly trying to rip people off.
I did a bit of EC trading over the summer and turned 10k into 80k or so over a few weeks, mostly just by flipping highly liquid mid-range items and pocketing a few hundred pp at a time. I wouldn't claim to be an amazing trader, but I think it's a pretty good profit, and was enough to more than adequately gear up a couple alts. The point being that even with the auction tracker in place, it's still quite possible to make money trading in EC. It's just harder to be a scumbag and try to exploit peoples' ignorance of prices. | ||

And I sold those greaves for 6k too. And it was not to some ignorant derp. It was to a high level player for his alt. Some people have so much plat that 6k to them is like 6pp to you and I. It is a matter of timing and finding the buyer you want for the items you have. Being uncompromising and focused is what make you a successful trader. the Wiki is evil because it injects false data into most transactions. | |||

EQLizer was actually a beast DB site, especially when paired with Caster's Realm. The Wiki is essentially those two sites combined, but cleaner imo. Part of the allure of EQ was always the community and sharing of information. I'm not sure why anyone would want to limit any information on the internet. Seems like commy move to me. Damn ruskies...
