Class Epic MQ's: Why are some outrageously priced?

[Ducket]

So far from what I've seen it is like this.

Monk epic MQ - FULL = 100k
Rogue epic MQ - FULL = 25-30k
Cleric epic MQ - FULL = 60k

Ranger epic MQ - Shattered Emerald of Corruption 300k, VS stone 250k
Druid epic MQ - Fay water 300k, VS stone 250k

Why are the prices of ranger and druid mq items so rediculously high in price? What makes them so special? I mean, I can only imagine guilds have quite a few of them just lying around. Do they hold on to them out of greed? I feel like every 50+ player on the server should have access to an epic just from what guilds are holding on to.

The thing that blows my mind the most is how they can expect any newer player(less than a year) to be able to afford 500k+ for TWO measley MQ items?

Please don't flame this thread, I would like to hear others thoughts on this topic and what they think a fix could be. Fix being other than waiting until epic mobs are triggerable a few months into Velious.
