Well, gotta adjust for inflation. We're better-able to generate coin in 2020 than we were in 2000.

i constantly struggled with cash on my shaman in the pre-kunark era. Getting Totemic Armor was a huge chunk of money for me. The suit of banded, plus the cost of dufrenite was the big hurdle for me, not the other quest items. We're looking at a couple hundred platinum! That, plus the cost of spells, made the late 20's and early 30's an extremely cash-strapped time for me.

Of course, today, I know that exactly five feet south of those dufrenite-smashing ogres is a bandit camp that can generate a good amount of plat in coin drops, bronze weapons and bronze-exchangable sashes. It's not much i guess but it's honest farmin'. Had i known about that, i woulda had my full suit of totemic in a day or two, and my spells just a few hours after that.

Right now my main is 21 enchanter on green, almost fully geared for pre-planes, and with several hundred plat just sitting there. if I want to go somewhere, 30-50pp isn't out of the question because, well i only really need money for spells, and money is just a consequence of leveling now, not the huge hurdle it was in 2001.
