I can go from wasp to wasp right now getting sacs and get some nice coin, but back in '99 I imagine everyone thought that way, so you'd naturally have less because you'd be more spread out on how often you kill them.

^.^ I'm sure everyone remembers back then going 'Ugh... another three stacks of rat whiskers. Why can't I snag a skeleton to kill!'
Maybe. But my style of killing yard trash now is identical to what it was then. I (try to) kill anything that moves that is yellow or lower. I am not selective about it. I loot virtually everything and I sell virtually everything.

Back then I would have to scrape and save for certain spells and maybe a backpack or two. Now I can buy all my spells, fill up with backpacks (me and the bank), and buy random vendor armor. And still be piling up the savings.

I'm not saying anything necessarily can or needs to be done about this, since I don't know that we can quantify it.

Just responding to your point - that I'm pretty certain this is not merely perception or due to anything I am doing differently now.
