I understand where you're coming from, but I also am a proponent of your oppositions argument. You seem to be taking "everyone is a twink" as "I'm jealous and I want twinking" but did you ever think that it may be the contrary?

For example I started playing here a year ago. Started and by level 5 I had run into some kind stranger that gave me a nice SK only sword and a few pieces of gear. 40 elvels later I'm in at least 15k worth of gear and I hardly feel like I earned it... I earned the plat, sure, but that's just a waiting game. put 100 points in banded and watch it trick in. soon you'll have Best in Slot for pre-planar, thanks to the dwarf by shady who buys stuff ad lowball prices then gouges the hell out of everyone else.

Now no matter what character I make or where I level some random nice person (and I do thank you, random kind people) hands me gear (sometimes even when I am twink'd).

Now as much as I like to get new free things, this can take a lot of the classic nostalgia feeling. To know that within a couple days of playing a new character someone will probably give me some awesome gear.

It would do a lot to make the population stop quarreling (or cause more fighting, perhaps-- Im not expert in these matters) to kind of have to work together to survive instead of just hitting up a guildy with a spare fungi and burying ourselves even deeper into your already deeply dug niche.

What makes you think this sort of thing wasn't happening in 1999?
