EC tunnel prices. what gives?

[iflytoohigh]

Hey all,

I'm pretty new. I did the starting zone thing. got a port to WC and headed over to EC tunnel with my saved up plat to see if I could pick up some noobie items. What is going on with the prices on the server? I was seeing insane prices for things. Was there a gold dupe on the server in the past or something? How does everyone have so much gold? Why are prices so inflated?

noobie gear was pretty affordable, but the higher end gear was crazy pricey.
