Yeah, mudflation seems to have been somewhat accelerated here though * a lot. Do you recall anyone on your servers back before Velious that had millions of pp? I don't. The only person I knew who had over a million PP was a necro named Spathic who used a plat duping bug in Thurgadin and got banned for it.

I'm a bit confused as to why you might want to leave the server because of the economy if you are doing well for yourself as a fresh character and have no complaints about the economy as it relates to you, personally.

No red player will last long on blue it just would never hhave the same amount of excitement. The climate is way to political, and red players will take blue players millions with the farmed loots and many RMTers will be comping at the bit and many bans will happen. The end of red is the end of blue imo as an unbiased observer with 50s in 2 of the 3 top guilds in red99!

Blue was around and healthy long before red existed

I have no complaints about my current gear for my level now however if the economy is flooded with plat, duped or otherwise, then its not going to be much fun to play since the market and trades is / was a big part of Everquest, at least for me.

Doing some research it seems there was a lot of duping going on at one stage and a lot of plat was duped (allegedly one guy had 25 million pp when he got banned) because of a flaw in the emu code.

I guess I just never really thought that any players would stop having fun in the game because they can't afford to buy gear with plat.

What droppables could you ever need on your ranger so badly that you will stop having fun playing unless you have them?

You have unfortunately missed the entire point of the fun of trading. Its not about obtaining gear to wear.

If you cannot obtain items to sell (because there's no market left to sell them in) and you cannot buy items in market (because everything desirable is out of the reach of your budget) then there is no market. The only market that will exist will be closed and accessible to those who have a shiteload of plat ie a twink market which is what I think we have.

Isn't the whole "I have a sub-20 ranger with gear that I could not have obtained but for use of the market" kind of proof that there ARE obtainable items to sell and there ARE desirable and affordable items to buy?

I'm a level 19 ranger, first character, no charity, I have silver swiftblade, mithril breast plate, jagged bands, seb scale armors in other slots.

You camped something that any level 20 can kill and sold the item for thousands of pp, which you then used to buy items (silver swiftblade = chardok. seb scale armors = sebilis. etc.) that you could not have obtained directly until level 50+. And yet here you are complaining about how the only market on this server is only accessible if you are a millionaire.

What. The. Fudge.
