One mob (a saurek darkclaw) drops this one item (Darkclaw Claw). Once upon a time, when the servers were populated, I'm sure this item was seen fairly often. Now with SoE's idea of getting noticed again, the rarity of this drop should sell for 10k+ in the bazaar.
To destroy the gear economy of EQ, is the final nail in the EQ coffin. SoE, you need to FIRE the really stupid manglements, promote programmers that have a clue, and get your chit back together.
INCREASE THE DROP RATE, INCREASE WHAT DROPS WHAT WHERE. FREAKING WAKE UP!!
