Wiki is the bible of EQ, as we have posted many times. "Use the wiki". Can't blame them for using the wiki when we all point at it, where all info is compiled in an easy to use manner.
That said, we all made fun of Green economics before server launch. When everyone and their dog was planning on manastones and such. High hopes of traded super rare items for huge plat.

Well really the wiki is fine but the big issue with new players to EQ and from other MMOs is that people don't really understand that you really learn about EQ from experienced, good players and actually going and playing the game. Knowing what item drops off what mob and then looking at the auction tracker is really not knowing much at all. Then you have the added P99 phenomenon of a bunch of hot air being blown around.
Its good that there are new players drawn to P99 but EQ is very unique with how much esoteric information there is out there about the specifics of mob behavior etc. Players from other MMOs still don't understand the importance of this aspect of the game. I've run into people well into their 50s with piles of DKP and full "raid kits" that don't know how to look at max hit and find out mob level. The list goes on. With the Wiki and Discord and ~~~rAiD gUiLdS~~~ spoon feeding esoteric information to people its staggering what people still don't know about EQ. You learn it from going out and playing with good players and exploring Norrath, not GoogleDocs and the Wiki.
That being said, yes the current economy is an absolute joke and it is hilarious to see the high hopes of piles of plat fall flat lol
