2.Because trochus is the dominant currency in the tables, if people traded 1:1 for aero they wouldn't profit, look at the exchange rates for other shells, people would never do an exchange rate that trades your 1000gralats worth trochus to 1000gralats worth scallop/sand/starfish/aero/mushroom/etc because there would be no profit. For the shovel thing, think of these people as lazy people who don't wanna dig, they're rich enough to buy itunes and gralat packs but they can't obtain trochus ( the currency in the tables) because they can't buy them with real money, so they buy shovels to exchange for them.
3. Simple, if the item is determined by the majority as crappy, the price is bound to stay low and vice versa.Also, newly released items cost high on tables because people can't determine it's trochus price yet, while old items, as people get to try or experience the item, judge it's stats and overall , the price will either go up (good items) or down (crappy). For example, would you be willing to buy a monkey hug for 1000 trochus? no right? it's ugly and useless, seem to do nothing, and nobody seems to want it.
4. I think this is why Bitzsam is rebalancing the guns.
5. They're either a hardcore digger, a hustler or a scammer or combination of those.
I haven't experience item dropping in era, because I'm a new player but from what I've heard it seems to have stopped because of scams, imagine, people already scam in tables, it'll be 10x worse in dropping.
Look, if gralats were tradable, do you think people would still buy gralat packs that much?
This is from my point of view.
