Easy Exploiting in P99 - The Story of Our Game Economy

[shuklak]

I don't know... I have a piece of crap 24 shaman and a 34 mage that's 4 pieces of armor away from full cloth and I've enjoyed the game. Never been to EC yet but the prices I see on random auctions never red flagged me.

This post, however, is revealing and interesting to read.

Now I have started over again as an Iksar in Kunark and people are trying to sell the same splitpaw gloves that I used to pass out for free but charge 150pp for them.
I'm not bitching, I'm just pointing out what I have noticed.

I guess I could be called an hypocrite because my main is for sale and I figured it might be fun to sort of twink a Shadow Knight for once, but obviously a stupid rare dagger with mediocre stats from opening day is worth 10 times my Shaman that took me months and months to level, but what ever, I'll keep playing with what ever gear I find because that is still fun.

word.

"time to bust your nuts on a virgin box"

lol
my weird roommate back in the day played on pvp servers and got his kicks tricking dude's into having cyber sex in game with his sexy female dark elf.

Then he would tell them he was actually a guy and tease them for being gay.

I like to farm stuff in the 300-800pp range because I can always find demand for something that few if any are bringing to market. One example of this is the Incandescent Mask--I'm probably responsible for most of them on the server.

As a result, I spend some time in the tunnel. I noticed a definite drop in the availability of platinum a few months back when Uthgaard started chasing this stuff down. I definitely believe that the availability of excess platinum has been at least reduced.

While you could be right, I think its more likely that the prices of items like this dropped because 1) the population dropped significantly 2 months before Kunark until its release; 2) the players with most of the money weren't playing (they were waiting for Kunark because they had experienced all of the game); and 3) the people who were still playing during this time were newer and did not have that type of plat, but I think now that Kunark has come back, it can be seen that the type of spending going on goes against your argument.

This post is about how all your plats are meaningless. Grats.
