Somehow I doubt you're going to find any sympathy for ticket farming from anyone. No offense, but I doubt it's going to happen. Can't help you on the prices, GL is more populated than Sonoma, and hence the higher prices...if you don't like OUR prices, try Atlantic lol.
I must say though, I do find it hilarious that someone boosted your rune books....now THAT'S funny, I don't care who you are.
