Why is everything so expensive?

    I'm returning from 12 years ago starting fresh since I couldn't get my account back. Finally reached southern shiverpeaks and looking to gear up. Been wanting to find some greens for myself and my heroes. But everywhere I see they are selling them for like a ton of ectos and armbraces(higher trade good now?). I remember greens were selling for anywhere from like 1k to a few ectos at most. Why is it so much more expensive now?

    common stuff like greenies are still cheap, what you see on trade is the rarer ones or prenerf one hence the high price. with 10 years passing wothout many new players the market for common stuff was just dead and people merched them.

    I WTB all kinds of Tower Shields and Defenders. I do drop research - if you find anything remarkable or want to see the results - check the thread or send a pm!

    - Every day since you stopped playing, bots and players have accumulated a lot of wealth (bots much more so). 1 ecto therefore no longer has the same value it did 12 years ago or more.

    - There is no auction house, no fixed price with low variations. Even if there are indicators (Kamadan trade chat, Legacy forum), they are not necessarily reliable. But everyone follows the trend, as long as prices rise. So they all increase constantly, because there is no economic regulator.

    - Ectos and armbraces, whether they devalue or increase in value, are not regulated over time by sellers. If ectos/armbraces fall, the price of an item X or Y will increase in relation to the number of ectos/armbraces. But once the price of ectos/armbraces rises again, they will not lower this value again in relation to the number of ectos/armbraces. Leverage effect.
