You might ask "why didn't you just refuse it?", but that would have been pointless. If I really want classic progression, I'd have to only group with people who don't engage in twinking. But with so much good gear cheaply available as Jimjam pointed out, there's no way to avoid grouping with people with "out-of-progression" gear, and thus no way to have a classic progression experience.

Actually, there is. There's an entire guild devoted to it in fact, and they have their own groups, their own economy, etc: Auld Lang Syne.

In fact, I really think you could divide the majority of people in this thread (or people who want Green in general) into:

• People who want a classic economy ... and could already get it and be perfectly happy by joining Auld Lang Syne
• People who say they want a classic economy, but don't fully understand all that entails, and if they actually got it they would go back to Blue
• People who want "power items" like Guises and Mana Orbs ... but don't realize they probably have a better chance of farming the plat on Blue to buy one than they will have of ever getting one themselves on Green
• People who want "power items" and have the commitment (or lack of a life, take your pick) to get them ... but vastly overestimate how much joy getting one of those items will bring them

In other words, I really think that only the minority of people who think Green will make them happier are correct. The rest don't realize it yet, but they'd be happier joining ASL or farming plat for a couple years on Blue. The only reason they don't realize it yet is that Green is only a fantasy; when the hard reality of it hits, a lot of folks are going to be disappointed that that reality doesn't match their dreams.

P.S. Let me second what Champion said:
