Economy barrier for new players

[falkun]

You have made a conscious choice to play a monk and worry about the AC hit from the weight cap. You can ignore that cap for a bit and hoard copper. You can farm lightstones which are lighter and can be turned in for 10pp, you can loot bronze scythes from spectre killers and vendor them. By strictly adhering to your philosophies of "I will not ask for handouts" and "I will not carry over the weight limit", you are gimping yourself. Now, that's not a problem and you are free to follow those philosophies (I also like the "I will not ask for stuff"), but to whine about the consequences of those self-imposed rules is asinine. Choices have consequences. Don't like the consequences of your choices? Then make different ones.
