i find it hard to believe it was 100 by NA release when the level cap wasnt even 75, and looks like all the formulas for veteran are level 71+ gears. but even if it was for some reason, realize that many people wouldnt even have gotten that high. Also realize that some servers came out months after the initial release. realize that economies on different servers were totally different for good reason. And yes the high end crafters on my server were bastards/geniuses who made sure they made profit for a long time.
and research proves me right:
im going to come off like a douchebag here, and im not that upset about it but
