'human behaviour is economic behaviour, the particulars may vary, but
competition for limited resources remains a constant'

Lemme enlighten you, in most cases, people do not rape mobs to get some
stuff and sell it for profit. Most of eqs you can buy from sales channel,
is a byproduct of doing a real eq. Lets look at this famous Soth example.
One of most sought items from citadel, are wis gloves, since wis is
essential for almost any caster, therefore we can assume that atleast 6
ppl from usual party could use those (whole backrow), since Soth gloves
have got 4 possible versions, this means one would need to kill
average 24 soths to get gloves for all those who want, what does that mean?
It simply means that you would get 48 magic wands. what the fuck can
people do with those if not sell and make price drop all time?
Well, im not going to enumerate other stuff that you get from mobs
you must kill on the way, but theres many.

There is alot of monsters that give alot of crappy items along with good one,
and alot that give random stuff. That makes players kill those over and over
to get
what they desire, and its not surprise that if there is very little chance to
get right items, the mobs are raped, alot. *wink shinarae*
