Not saying it is a big deal, just that there is a lot of accumulated wealth from people that put the time in.

I just started myself and honestly I've not seen the really lowbie stuff get hit that hard. If anything, its actually a little bit cheaper than I remember. Bronze running 1pp per AC, Fine plate running around 4-6 pp per AC, I remember FP going for 10pp+ per AC.

It seems the mid level stuff is where its really starting to hurt. The Cracked Darkwood Shields, PGT's and that kind of stuff are quite absurd sometimes. However, as someone else said earlier, back on live, how many people just starting up had a PGT under level 10 anyway? I never got any items like that until I was well in my teens.

While I agree that the market is worse than it was on live around this time, I still think people are adjusting from modern EQ and other MMO's where early gear comes easy.

That's pretty much the gist of it. People are spoiled by MMOs today. Hell, when I played EQ back in the day I was on the Rallos Zek server. I went from 1-50 solo (Necro) for the most part and almost fully nude since I never really had access to NO-DROP gear. Brutal doesn't even describe that by today's standards. Maybe severely masochistic, but I'll be damned if those 2 years weren't some of the most memorable gaming experiences I ever had. For better and for worse.

Makes you want to laugh at the amount of time and money some people are willing to spend in order to get an extra 10 mana or hitpoints. on their toon.

I love it!

On P99 there are two types of items auctioned: rubbish and over priced shit. Don't bother trying to play the market with dudes constantly spending hours of their life try to sell an Advisor Robe for 1.5k

I swear there's one transaction for every 50-100 /auctions. EC on live was way more fun because people were way less retarded about selling their crap.

It's pretty much cause fucktards from WoW got it in there head it's fun to inflate items. Especially newb shit.
