There are a number of you peeps who are cring about how IGE is ruining the ecomomy of EQ and thus the game.
The truth is IGE is at most fixing the price only of the very top end droppable items.
The truth is these items are much more about status than items needed to play the game. And all the higher prices are doing is minimizing the number of peeps who can have the high status gear.
The truth is the more of you that buy this plat and then the high end grear, the more offten you will pass on the nodrop item the rest of us want.
The truth is well over 2/3 of the high end gear can not be bought no matter how much plat you have.
Some other factors you may want to think about
A lot of guild that used to be raiding zones that dropped a lot of the saleable high end loot have moved on to zone that mostly drop nodrop gear.
I know of a number of peeps who's guilds used to raid daly, who now do mostly LDon zones, while in the same guild. In short they have moved from raiding to LDoNing. Personally i think it is more fun and you don't have to compete with 40 other peeps or so for drops.
I would suggest that these two factors are playing a signiffent part of the current inflation.
The truth is that with one good group (not including LDoN) you can obtain equipment that will allow you to fight the highest end mobs. (these mobs are much more about how many peeps than they are about uber equipment.) And in fact if you are fighting at the highend you will get the gear with out buying it.
So in short any newbee can now buy better gear for less than they could in the past.
One of the major reasons there is less uber items for sell in the bazaar is there are fewer peeps rading the zones that drop it.
The only ones who could be impacted by the actions or IGE are those who want to buy status gear.
So suck it up and pay the going rate for your status, or play the game the way it was ment to be.
