Green economy is so fucking dead.

Consider rehab?

The lack of plat dupes this time around is taking its toll.

I play off-peak hours on Teal and EC is basically nonexistant. 10 minutes will pass with 1 person auctioning their same thing once every 3-4 minutes and 20 AFKs just standing there. I mean, its like 4am or 5am pacific time, but still...

Yeah Team economy is trash...same people selling the same items every day.

Prices on the new server(s) do seem out of whack, higher in many cases higher than not only on most original servers but also usually higher than the same items were on Blue during the 2009/early 2010 period. Rate of items entering the game also seems low. I suspect the problems could be linked; a higher-than-usual proportion of players might be leveling off cash/plat camps rather than item camps, leading to a somewhat inflated but item-poor economy relative to what might be more usual on a two to three month old setting. This might be Blue's influence being felt since leveling off cash camps was (and is) heavily preferred since the majority of low-level and old-world items were typically obsolescent and unwanted on that server.

It's a rough economy for anyone who rolled a melee class as their first character, particularly rogue or warrior. They need gear to keep up with naked casters, but they can't solo the camps that drop the gear they need, which puts them at the mercy of item farmers and tunnel fatcats.

It's too difficult or challenging to go camp the items I want.

And the items I want aren't being sold in the EC.

If they were sold in EC I doubt want to pay the price out would take to incentivize others to camp the items.

God forbid they get groups for exp and gear vs solo mentality.

Solo people need to play games designed for solo play vs complaining about not being able to solo everything in MMOs.

Seriously. People want 20k for a SSoY. What warrior is ever gonna have that?

If you can farm 20k in a reasonable amount of time you could also farm a SSoY.

Also use the forums maybe someone will stroll by your auction on the forums while at work and you can set up a meeting time.

This.

Most of my items are sold via forum posts.

They are selling for less than half that on Teal. 10k is 10 hours of exp and vendoring trash in HHK. Hardly seems like a heavy lift.

And SSOY not a make or break item. There are other cheaper taunt weapons that do just fine until you're of level to camp SSOY.
