Yeah we're also spoiled a bit in EQ because literally every vendor will buy anything that's sellable, and they have an infinite supply of plat to pay you. I played UO before EQ was released and in that vendors only had limited money to buy things, and you had to sell armor/weapons to the blacksmith and clothes to the tailor etc... they actually attempted to emulate a real economy but I do prefer the EQ ezmode vendor system.
Also slight derail but I always really liked the music that plays while browsing a vendor in classic EQ. It's the most nerdtastic dose of nostalgia for me, always reminds me of the very early game when nobody had any clue where to go or what to do and it was all about exploring and learning things. Now it's so hard to resist the urge to just fire up the wiki and beep-boop through a quest without reading any of the dialogue.
