I have, for years, avoided the crazy Bazaar prices game. When I need to outfit a char, I but whatever is priced reasonably in the Bazaar, and then either hunt whatever I can get, or just do without. I used to complain about the price of rank 2 spells/turn-in items, and finally just accepted that rank 1 spells are fine, and I can upgrade them whenever. Less stress, more fun :)
What did I do this weekend? Friday was fun. I logged in with my mains in Tactics, near the first (fake) Rallos Zek. I had camped out Thursday, puzzling why I couldn't target him, and Friday figured out that there were two more mobs to kill to activate him. So I was hoping to see those two mobs. Well, the fake Rallos was gone, so I figured I missed my window. Then I do a /who, and see one person in the zone, who then shouts for help. He had just spawned the real RZ, and at 89, was having difficulty. So he lucked out in that I took care of RZ, and I lucked out in that I didn't have to wait any more for RZ :)
Spent Saturday getting the BoT key done x 3 in PoS, and then using my baby rogue to level poisoncrafting from 0-300, and got the trophy to ~30% of done. Sunday, finished the trophy, and that was it. Camped at Terris Thule's spot in PoNb. Logged in last night, found her up, and took care of that flag. Now just need Grummus for tier 1 PoP zone flags.
