I dont care that people are doing it or that people have advantages from having started earlier and/or putting in more play time...All MMOs have that and people who play a lot and got started earlier shouldn't be faulted for playing the game. People who have put in more time or started earlier should be rewarded for their efforts and time spent and if they want to use that to their advantage, who can really blame them? Most people would. Kunark's been out for 2 years....People have to have something to do so some are MQing epics.

The rub, for me, is that a lot of folks on the high end got a head start before the server was as "classic" as it is now. They got to level faster and acquire gear they wouldn't have live because there were non-classic features and mechanics available. When I started here 3 years ago there were translocators because the boats hadn't been put in, a compass, and map functionality etc, etc. All those little conveniences add up over time to a major advantage. An advantage that newer players will never have. The changes and nerfs that constantly come along to make the server more classic are great, but they don't undo the damage to the economy, the advantage that has given some people and, arguably, widen the gap even further. It's unavoidable.

Couple that with the fact that, until last week, you could legitimately sell your accounts to other players for in-game plat. Something that was NEVER remotely permitted on live. So they fixed it. Did they take back the plat that people got from selling their accounts? They can't, obviously, but how much of all of the above has compounded the problem?

All of which is why, after velious is out for quite a while and all the kinks are worked out, I hope we have a new server at some point.
^ here here. well said then.
