Or is it a tax on the gullible? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I agree about the money sink. I started on P99 3 years ago, before Kunark, but then took a huge break and just came back last month. The inflation is incredible, and new players who want to buy decent gear are probably doomed to a lot of plat farming.

However I suppose there is an upside, newbs can get pretty reasonable gear (by my definition) just from the generosity of others. I've never asked for anything but have been randomly given quite nice items by people who saw what ghetto shit I was wearing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But - how do you implement a money sink that people actually want to use? Maybe offer to sell (for plat) the consumables that high end players have to farm a lot for the raiding scene? I've no idea where (say) a DA idol comes from or how long it takes to farm them, but would people with cash in the bank be prepared to pay plat for one instead of farming?
