What is The Most Overpriced Piece of "Bad" Gear?

Slime blood of cazic thule

on Red, Fingerbone Hoop is definitely one of the worst. Useful for fighting rogues, but bracer of the hidden is as useful in that regard/ an extra clickie for countering dispels, and it's an item that's less than half the price.

Four months later I can still only dream about affording a lot of things less expensive than a fungi.

It's not about leveling up.

Seriously? You chose to obsess XP over all else and now you're unhappy that your efforts have produced little besides gobs of XP? Do you even logic?

I'd say pre nerf fungi staff. I know its awesome but not millions of plat good.

You can buy pl to 60 for every class for millions of plat.

Vibrating Gauntlets.

It's like 200k platinum for +5 or 10 mana over free quest armor.

Cleric MR is already a joke, and WIS is capped.

It's a near BiS item, and like wearing an epic on your hands. Same logic applied makes BCG's overpriced junk.

RBG sort of bigger bang for buck than BCG, but when you got nothing left to spend platinum on, why not get the BCG.

Since you asked about logic: where do I obsess about experience in that post? Taminy's the one who brought up leveling, remember?

Projection is a hell of a drug.

You said you made a necro specifically because of gear independence, and that levelling was not a problem. This rather plainly implies a focus on gaining XP thru solo play, so while "obsess" is maybe a bit of hyperbole it is justified IMO given your post and its context. If you want to get better gear you need to put time in making & helping friends, and/or put in time waiting for and holding loot camps you can solo, and/or put in time skilling and farming for tradeskills, and/or put in time playing EC tunnel trader. Note that all of these involve putting in time with acquisition of pp & items as a reward (the making/helping friends has better benefits than just loot.)

You've been focussed on XP, it's silly to complain that pp & gear didn't just fall into your lap as a consequence.
