Its because people have money and they want the "better" item. There is no reason to buy a 5k weapon when you have 100k to spend. You might as well use it (you will understand this as you get richer, I thought the exact same thing as you a few years back)

This is so true. Checkout the WTB forum. There is a guy thats been looking for 3 q12 inscr. Ram's Hammers. He's been looking for at least a month now. He's been spamming in Kamadan for weeks now; and posting on guru more recently. Last time I checked he even increased his offer to 20k each; and he still cant find a seller. I offered him a nice q9 gold inscr. one for half of what he's offering; but he only wants q12.

Makes me lol.

I feel there is nothing rare about vs; torment weps; cc's; froggy's and the other so called rare crap nowadays. That junk's been overfarmed so much its hard to find anyone wielding anything else.

My rit who has earned well over a million in the last weeks from farming runs around with blue dyed armor. I got 52 black dyes in storage, but when testing dyes on her I decided that blue looks best. I feel no need to showoff black when I think blue looks best

But ofc its on a elite armor, I got to burn my money somewhere^^
I fully understand the desire to get something that is rare and shiny. When you have played for so and so much time and earned $$$ its your reward to spend it on shiny stuff rather than ordinary stuff
