Go to PoP library and buy LoY no drop- first time offered there
No, you didn't... LoY spells are and always have been quest only. There were some PoP spells that were No Drop sold in the library. There were even some No Drop Velious spells (that were added sometime after the release of Velious) so your claim that any form of No Drop spell started in LoY is complete and utter rubbish.

You will find that simple english structure that ignores the real thought and content of a statement will probably send you to bankrupcy court or worse.
The problem is that while your posts contained a modicum of structure, they didn't manage to convey
any thought or content at all that could be interpreted by a "reasonable person" as a logical argument. The remains of your post didn't even make sense in context of the discussion at hand.

Thank you for making my point. 100k prices did not exist 5 years ago. Further under any economic substitution model as existed before Loy and subsequent "expansions" with rampant and pursuasive no drop, prices always decreased in bazaar as better armour,weapons etc became available to all players.
As for your contradictory statement "prices of existing items decrease" . How can prices for no drop decrease?????? And, extending your misstatements to a possible scenario--- how much more would prices drop on bazaar items if all no drop became available to everyone= that is basic economic substitution in an open market which does not exist in EQ.
Cloak of Flames were selling for more than 50k before Kunark came out (extremely rarely, albeit, but none the less... possibly as much as 100k). The first Blade of Carnages on the market went for 500k-1M, now they're in the 100-300k range if that).
Your claim was that the price of Item A increases over time. Where empirical evidence in well over 90% of the cases shows the opposite to be true. Admittedly, your original statement was simply "explosion of bazaar costs" which now you'll claim to be "crystal clear and nobody could possibly interpret such an ambiguous statement to be anything other than what you meant" actually meant the opposite of the obvious and implied meaning (whew). I'm also not sure you understand the concept of the word "contradiction" since you claim my statement that "prices of existing items decrease" is contradictory... and then go on to point out how the cost of existing items decreases.
And nowhere, anywhere, did I mention or even hint at prices of no drop items. Yes, quite obviously prices of existing inferior gear would drop if superior items that were No Drop became tradeable. I won't argue with that, nor did I ever make any claim to the contrary.
