This.
From playing mmo's since I was 12 I have learned 2 general overlying types of players exist.
1) Those who enjoy 'the grind' and take pride in leveling multiple characters.
2) Those who enjoy min/maxing their one character to hell. (This can be getting best in slot, farming a pile of money etc).
The people who fall into #1 hate then the people who fall into #2 trivialize their sense of accomplishment by buying accounts instead of leveling them.
The people who fall into #2 never understand why anyone would want to be in #1.
EQ also has a #3 category which is the EC trader who typically pisses #1 and #2 off buy never leveling past level 20, which upsets #1 and then buying/selling for all the best gear in the game without ever dealing with raids which pisses off #2.
All 3 of those people enjoy the game in their own way and it is not the place of anyone to sit on a high horse and demand the game be changed to benefit one over the other. All 3 play the game and simply invest their time differently.

And the issue with p99 is the ratio of #3's to everyone else. on live it was a lower % of #3 and also had new items(velious and other xpac) flowing into economy where as we don't here.
