Thing is, and I can't speak for anyone else, but I never thought the game was overly challenging until I played other games, afterwards. Games that had all these convenience aspects. Then I came back to EQ on P99 back in 2011 and the first thing I thought was, "Jesus Christ, I don't remember this shit being this hard!" Well, no kidding. What did I have to compare it to at the time I played back in 1999? Nothing of it's genre. This is not an inherently challenging game. Other, later games are what make it difficult.

1) Powerleveling
2) people who put prices in their auctions thinking it will sell the item quicker (hint: it won't!)
3) people who use the words guy, bro, pal, or friend.

I'm not your friend, guy.

People who don't put prices in their auctions thinking they can con people into a shitty "offer" deal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always list with prices, people are either interested and send a tell... or they're not and I can deal with it.

Nobody tries to lowball, and I get the price I want (or near enough)

I wish I had your luck. Even when I do put the price in the auction, I get lowball offers. I do not think either putting a price or not in your auction effects time spent aucing a particular item.

Surprisingly enough there are many reasons people do many things.

In my experience people will always lowball if you put a price on it. If I would ever put prices on my items, I'd list them about 10% above my desired margin just to get what I want for it.

I constantly sell my BS jewelry @ my desired price point while other people undercut each other into infinity on the exact same items. The tunnel is not as liquid as people seem to think (If I drop my price by 200pp someone will buy right now!!!!).

I do this, but not to sell it faster. It's to get what I'm asking, which is the point of putting an asking price up front, friend.

I hate having to look up prices in the wiki, then get told that they want 100pp for an item listed as 30pp.

If you want 100pp, why not just tell people so they can ignore you?

Also, the auction tracker which lists the prices for the wiki only works because people quote their asking price in /auc.
