game economy

[Omnimorph]

You're looking at the top end of the server, more and more people get 50, and realise "hey, there's not much to do here at 50... guess i'll twink out a <new class>" and they farm whatever it is they can farm, buy the items they want.

With more and more people doing this, and people being generally lazy and wanting to get their items nao rather than later, they pay over what is considered the "normal" price for items like fbss, and enough of these sales gets the item pegged at that price for everyone.

Sucks for the level 45 warrior who started with nothing and can farm nothing because he can't afford to buy one, and like mentioned the camps are usually tied down constantly.

But hey, that's just the way it goes.
