Economy barrier for new players

This is a flawed argument. Low level players get the bulk of their money from vendored items and coin drops. These factors are unrelated to the increase in prices of the items in the EC tunnel.

I don't think so. My enchanter only netted about 7 platinum by the time he had hit level 8 and that was with grabbing every single Rusty weapon and cracked staff I could find in Toxx (and there were a LOT of Rusty weapons).

By comparison, my SK managed to snag over 3 stacks of Bone Chips from grinding 1-4 in WFP and sold them for 30pp within moments of zoning into EC.

In actualty your argument amounts to: suck it up, farm twice as hard, your fault for not having joined 3 years ago, etc.

Never said this once. Not to mention I've only been playing for about a year combined due to all my breaks and casual game schedule, yet have somehow managed to get spell money for my characters just fine even with a "ruined economy" and no twinking to speak of.

So since neither of us can really "prove" anything due to this entire argument (at least, the one occurring between myself and you) being subjective and circumstantial, I would suggest we move away from over simplifying other people's arguments like a common politician, shall we?
