Pretty much. I couldn't stop laughing.
Most of the time when anyone suggests anything in this game, someone seizes the opportunity to grandstand their favorite "I wish I had". It's transparent and obvious.
Be the change you want. I doodle around on my druid and get mid level gear drops all the time, they go on my mule, and if I find anyone who is a decent person, I log over and clear some space out of the old mule bank. Who above level 50 wants to spend 2 hours selling lowbie gear worth 200p total anyway?
Another policy that I think is worth advising is if you see some level one desperately trying to sell some junk like fire beetle eyes or gnoll droppings, buy it. Sell it to a merchant later or whatever. It will involve more people in the EC economy in the long run, and it will make people want to stick around if they feel they are not spinning their wheels in cloth armor and rusty weapons at level 15.
When I get weird drops like scarab carapaces that have quests, I do them. The reward is trash, but it is something different to do and check out, and some newbie will feel really happy getting them. This is not a commercial for,by, and about me, but it is some thoughts on what you guys can do when crafting gets old and you are cap anyway and bored with buffing newbies.
If you want more players, tell people about it. Most of the players of MMOs like this are college aged, so go post some bills around the school on the bulletin boards. Do it anonymously if you are shy about being a gamer geek.
