No need to apologize. I usually can't get more than 4 hours per day in, myself. However, I recognize that this means there are going to be players out there with better gear, more plat, and more high level characters than me. Here's the weird part... I'm totally okay with this. I don't feel the need to exchange my hard earned dollars for virtual pixels just so I can pretend that I have more free time than I actually do. Especially when I know that doing so will eventually result in a ban from the server!
Wat. Yes, it absolutely does mean that. If you've spent real money to get insane twink gear for your level, how can you claim that you've put in the same amount of work? Even if you ended up getting 60 before you got banned, you would've put in WAY less work than you would getting an untwinked character to the same point. If you think an untwinked rogue using cheapo weapons and banded armor will level as fast as a rogue with epic/nightwalker/fungi... I really don't know what to say.
I'm not trying to judge you, man. It's your money, I couldn't really care less how you spend it. I just don't see how you can keep trying to justify RMTing on this server. Some people have 12 hours per day to play, some people don't. If that's not your cup of tea, there are plenty of pay2win games out there. Sorry that p99 couldn't be one of them.

A low level having a fungi is the only thing that is going to dramatically cut your playing time down, maybe a Mana Stone too. In my experience twink gear doesn't mean dick on this server, with the exception of the Fungi tunic. I say this because I am an altoholic and have leveled plenty of characters into the 30's with fantastic gear, and without anything other than bronze armor and a 200p weapon.
Given that I have a good amount of experience up to level 45 I can tell you that having awesome gear hardly made leveling easier. It's not like I magically was able to solo everything with my warrior or paladin when I got them geared. I had to be super careful and super smart about what I was doing while leveling. I Any other set of gear and you are going to be near even with other players that have less than you but are at the same level. Having gear doesn't mean you are going to have a noticeable impact on your ease of leveling.
Perfect example of this is Dark Souls. Just because you have some awesome gear, by no means does that make you any less prone to dying or getting overwhelmed.
