Buying toons...

It could be argued that if the culture is to PL characters (usually a very anti-social activity) to be sold for plat, then people will stop leveling their own characters and just farm plat to buy leveled characters and the lower level group game will suffer for it.

A much larger portion of the community actually *DOES* PL for plat, including PLing toons to sell. It's simply done in the least populated areas in the game, for good reason.

Does it hurt the current game? I for one see a lot of low-level people... and We've gotten and completed orders for characters in the 20-30 range as well. People who just want to get out of the worst part of the game and experience some of the more difficult and stable group encounters with some actual class-defining abilities.

I also disagree with buying gear with real life money.

Both of these damage the ecconomy and give these guys a reason to not group in the next area to learn how to get gear from it.

The people who are low enough to also purchase plat with real life money are also too materialistic and play to win and no longer for fun.

Back in kunark and velius era,you had very few weapons and it wasn't about the gear,it was about having fun.

Buying gear with real life money = RMT = against the rules.

And don't get me wrong - the game is still about fun. For some people, fun is having a high level toon and working on gathering gear for alts - for some people, fun is raiding with people you like ... getting the best gear you can on a character to do the most challenging content. Everybody has varying likes when it comes to having fun, so why hate?
