Prices do find equilibrium, with and without the tracker. That has nothing to do with this. The tracker doesn't set prices. Players do. The tracker just tracks them. That's it. You can get the same info that's on the tracker by sitting in EC and tracking it yourself. But not everyone wants to do that, and there's no good reason NOT to have a tracker.....Unless you are trying to rip people off.

I'm sorry, but it's just complete BS to actively want to take advantage of people who don't sit in EC all day every day by depriving them of info that can easily be tracked and has been.

The price tracker clearly provides a useful and neutral service for players who don't want to get ripped off, as well as unprofessional sellers who want to know what they should ask for their items. By unprofessional I mean those players who like to actually spend time out in the world adventuring.

The backwoods economic arguments being put forth here are stupid. There's not a modern market in the world that doesn't track and publish sale prices.

The P1999 economy is peculiar for those coming from Live and esp for those who haven't played since the classic era (like me). I played on Tarrew Marr in the early days, so I might readily have paid a hefty sum for a sacrificial dagger or a SSoY. Those items aren't very valuable any more, and I'm glad the limited plat I spent 20+ hours farming at sisters wasn't scammed out of my pockets. Thanks auction tracker!

Sadly, auction tracker goes against the "classic" mindset. EC trading was a class in itself on live. That being said, I'm sure if Sony had an auction tracker they would of implemented it, and I don't see how it does anything but help the community.

Allas tracked prices. It was based on player input and wasn't all that accurate because prices differed from server to server and that feature wasn't always used on every item, but it was there. Entirely classic.

There was auction trackers on Live. Allakazam Premium Service included one version. There were others.

Why does everyone think the people that want the auction tracker gone are just trying to rip everyone off? Maybe we are trying to recreate our EC tunnel experience, I don't remember getting tells "wiki says that is worth X amount, so I will give you X amount" on live.
People rely on this information, because it has been handed to them for far too long.
It was not like this on Classic, stop fooling yourself.
Again, why do you feel you are entitled to know every price of every item without putting in ZERO effort to do so?
While we are at it can we please implement a mob tracker, that tells us the last time every single mob was spawned?

You can get the same info by doing a PC, just as you could live. I'm assuming your "EC tunnel experience" was that of ripping uninformed players off. Why are you entitled to do that?

I mean seriously, you people are openly arguing not for something that isn't classic in the game, but for removing an OUT OF GAME WEBSITE FUNCTION that is nothing other than simple, easy to find information, for the express purpose of screwing people with inflated pricing. Listen to yourselves.

I don't rip anyone off, why do you keep saying this? Oh that's right, it is your ONLY argument.
Wether the tracker is up or not, I will still acquire massive amounts of platinum. This "OUT OF GAME WEBSITE FUNCTION" is hosted on p99 website. This is equal to Sony hosting it.
You just want your hand held, maybe you should try a different MMO.
Oh and while we are catering to casuals, how about that mob spawn tracker? I don't want to spend 8+ hrs camping Haden or whatever else, so can you please give me a wiki page where I can have all this data handed to me.

And I don't remember getting tells that Allakazam said it was worth X amount either. Not classic.
