Exchange and money

[A1551]

The character probably isn't being leveled with the strict purpose of being sold in many cases...I personally sold my first char, a paladin, once I reached level 52 after lots of endless grinding, mostly because I went from loving the class pre 50 to absolutely despising it post 50. I have no regrets, had a lot of fun leveling him up, and enjoy the heck outta my new main. Having tens of thousands of plat the second time around was nice too although I actually didn't spend very much of it on him. I don't think I'd ever sell my main (now chanter) as I absolutely love playing it. But I can see people getting bored of plenty of other classes and wanting to make a switch with a leg up -- the fun is the journey not the destination right? Likewise I think a lot of time when people quit they'll give their accounts to friends (which get sold) or sell their acct and give the money to friends, etc, or sell an account they previously bought to buy a big ticket item or a new class they want, etc.

As to people with tons of plat on their hands, yep, they exist too. I was able to sell my paladin in only a few days. Again, a PALADIN. I was surprised at the amount of interest I got for an account with no gear and marginal 50+ utility outside of tanking in exp groups.
