Blue also had a ton of plat inflation from un-Classic Seafuries for like 5 years, and sneak pulling driving down the price of things like Fungi Tunic.
But yea, there is a severe lack of the high end group items from Kunark on Green because of the ZEM changes and how long Kunark was the current expansion.

Another contributing factor is the number of players. When blue was the only non-pvp server option, the player count was like 2000 daily in early Velious on blue. Now with the pop split, the number of buyers and sellers is also split so EC feels a lot more dead. Less people selling = less item variety.
People have also refined their farming strategies and don't waste time farming stuff that doesn't sell, so a lot of those low range staple items are almost impossible to find for sale.

Just as an example, I bought a CoS prenerf on Blue for 1200pp because Kunark was out for so long a time. Having said that, the Green server prices have been way more expensive then on Live servers at a similar spot in the timeline. So I see both sides to the argument.

Many other items are just simply supply. The hole being the only place many leveled led to the loss of many other places that were typical classic zones for leveling and the loss of the supply of the loot from those zones. Sebilis is the best example. Even into Luclin it was heavily used as an XP zone on live. It's a ghost town here. So it's not so much people "avoiding" zones, it's that the incentive to level elsewhere was higher to speed up the leveling process due to a crazy ZEM and the fact that you only have to go LFG in one zone rather than running to 3 different ones (which as a melee can eat up an hour of your night just going zone to zone shooting lfg). Unfortunately we have cheap loam gear all over the server but Kunark class set pieces going for 5k+. | |||
