It's just strange seeing things for sale for hundreds of platinum when in most other contexts 1 plat is enough to buy anything you could possibly want. Does the prices of goods increase exponentially, or do the level one monsters start off dropping gold pieces?

the only thing worth the high amount of plat you are referring to are... houses, land, airships and maybe a few epics... and these are thing you cant normally get in other games so thats why it seems strange
