There's one very important factor people are forgetting.
Resellers.
There are quite a number of resellers in EC, and they essentially control the market. They have the cash to scoop up hi-end items and hold them. There are a lot of ways to play the market, especially with a limited supply of higher valued items, and a few players with a large amount of of plat.
That's not going to change anytime soon...especially with more and more players reaching 50 and twinking out. That generally is one of the largest driving factors for big price increases in particular items...that can be seen just in this thread, it's not rocket science.
The people that lose are the poor souls that are just finding the server. It was the same way on live, people just don't seem to remember. Hell, I remember player trader guilds that would corner the market on whatever they wanted to. The only thing that can be done to alleviate some of this particular problem is to increase drop rate significantly...but that raises just as much of a problem for the server as this does.
On the other hand, when Kunark comes out, it will be much more difficult to corner and control the market. Not impossible, just a lot more difficult.
