You do realize you can't spend the gear you're wearing on things to use, right? Saving up 5k for a FBSS and spending it all on that is no different than saving up your plat and spending it all on a Fungi and CoF. Just because they have this stuff doesn't mean they're tunnel fatcats. And even if they have a few hundred plat for consumables, they are consumables. Sooner than later, that plat is spent and they have to get more. The banks don't pay interest and there is no bi-weekly paycheck that people get in plat, so it has to come from somewhere.

I'm just saying. If you play long enough will you get to the point where you're going to give up your gear to pay for a port? If you had 300k plat in gear, but 25 plat on your person and maybe a couple hundred in the bank reserved for a corpse run, are you going to pass on loot you can still sell for usable plat?

Besides, a 300k gear guy is probably carrying more than his share of the group output load, an equal roll on anything is plenty fair. He's only going to win that roll 1 out of 6 times on average. Now if he's been winning every roll on junk and he keeps taking it, then you can call him out for being a selfish douche.
