When I said it was the smarter move, I meant in terms of his shelling out plat vs. what he could earn through his own means. I completely agree that encouraging newer players to get their belts and pads and get their starting money and having fun doing it is the RIGHT thing - hence my saying 'it was a shitty thing to do'.
Perhaps it would be a lot less of an issue if higher level players would stop busting out the big wallets in Gfay with shouts of "4pp / belt and 8pp / pad" that happens periodically. From the perspective of players that can no longer level in CB, it IS turning it into a cash farm camp. Sort of like how we see players in their mid 20's going Anon or Roleplay in Lfay with the sister camp farming bronze at zero Exp while waiting for a group in Mistmoore. It's sickening.
