Eh, well our hats are a lot cheaper than classics, don't think we have any worth more than 5k max, if so then it's only 1 or 2. Our furniture is also pretty cheap aswell, and whilst i've seen some cool houses on era, when I used to play classic almost everyone had completely filled guild houses.
Auction items, yea probably more has been spent on those, don't know why though, if people were smart they would realise auctions go for a minimum of 2 minutes and not bid in those first 1 and a half mins, which would significantly reduce the price of items for whoever wins
