Maybe I give p99 players more credit than they deserve, but it's not that hard to play a toon...

This is a pretty good point. If the person is dropping 50, 60, 70k+ on a well geared level 50, Where the hell do you think they are getting that type of cash? They are obviously not "noobs" if they have access to that kind of platinum here.

The whole "no noob is going to have that kind of plat" canard totally misses the point.

Why is it okay to condone powerleveling and account trading as a means to skip the lower level game, but not okay to actually play through the lower level game as a multi-box where monopolizing entire zones and excluding those trying to actually play the game and group isn't the direct result of such practice?

How is it one completely destroys the community but the other is perfectly acceptable?

It does not miss the point, It actually nails it right on the head. If you have that kind of plat, you already have a high level who can farm those amounts. If you already leveled 1-50 and since you know how much work goes into it...you might not want to do it again. Im not saying its right, nor am i saying its wrong. What i am saying is that Everquest is a game about...Nothing. You can do whatever you'd like in EQ...Because there is no real point to this game aside from to have fun. If you have fun staring at the EC tunnel walls and trying to sell items, So be it. If you like to raid extensively for those elusive drops, So be it. If you like to farm for days and days to build up 70k plat so you may buy another character that you would like to play, Then so be it. So where do you get off trying to dictate to others how they should play Everquest the "correct" way?

This is my 1st post, I am a very new player (have been playing for 2 weeks) and everything has been fine. But today I noticed some strange goings on in unrest, a friend and myself were attempting to level in the unrest "yard" area and there were NO mobs at all. My friend commented that this was very strange considering there was under 10 people in said zone. after a bit of walking around we noticed a nude lvl 11 rogue (well not nude they had some cheap scimitar) being PL'd by some 50 CLE. What made it strange to me was that they were taking EVERY mob, like there was a very high sense of urgency in that PL'ing. Attempted /tell to ask if they could leave a portion of the yard open for some lower lvl toons... no reply. I honestly believe this was an example of toon building directly effecting my ability to progress in the game, ( Nro and WC areas are just overpopulated so I was trying to find a different area). There is no way I can prove this was toon building and not just normal PL'ing, but the nude toon being PL'd as well as the lack of responses ( I was being polite as well, not confrontational) made me very suspicious. Im not pissed or anything (just left Unrest) just read alot of people saying if toon building isn't effecting other players it's no ones business to care about it. (Those 2 toons effectively shut down that whole low leveling area)

Because regardless of how many people buy accounts, or power level up new toons, the community is still intact. The same number of characters are running around the already crowded world.

You still know, that when you talk to someone, you are talking to a person, and you won't get the afk message: "tells to XYX" toon because they are not paying attention to that character.

Toon sales are for more rare than a new person leveling up through the content. For every toon sold, there are a bunch more actually leveling through the content.
