The OP is not wrong. Basically the server has been out for a while, so there is a huge difference in price between BiS and 2nd best.

As a Paladin your path is PARTICULARLY easy because no one else plays the class. Join any casual guild and you'll have 41% haste and full valorium and such within a few months tops. Then you'll either get your books outright with the new raid rules or maybe buy them (only like 30k, which isn't that bad if you are 50+ and it is the fucking EPIC). Voila, Fiery Defender. Get lucky on a Hiero cloak in the crypt and boom, you're done - Deepwater is trash anyway with AC not working properly.

Hey, it took me damn near a year of being in a raiding guild to get my 41% haste! And I had to buy it from you! Stupid Spiroc Lord continuously fucking me. But, yeah, in general pally gear is pretty darn cheap.

For a pally you can get verrry nice gear for cheep, exceptions being maybe some black saph jewlery, RBG, and a heiro cloak. So a few purchasable items to strive for someday, alongside epic and raid drops.

Seems like a reasonable progression.

Also, just to add: a new server would not solve this problem. The problem we have is a lack of content: Nilbog (despite being a 1-man army) releases expansions much more slowly than Verant, while at the same time we have a very hard core playerbase who can look up exactly how to do everything on EQ live and zoom through things.

In before someone complains at Vowels for suggesting spots that (GASP) other people like to camp too!

There's a tonne of crazy generous people levelling up thru their 20s and 30s at the moment!

<3 you low/mid level guys on p99 these days!

I have been in between poor and rich for a long time. I don't see what you are talking about, but I can understand a new player being envious and feeling like they need to buy gear just because they see other people geared up at their level.

Level up a bard to 55 and then make an average of 3k an hour farming traks teeth. Boom money

It is so tiresome to read posts that sound like they came straight out of the Obama Administration's talking points. Guess what genius, there isn't a finite amount of wealth. You too can go scrounge up some items and sell them at the same prices you complain about everyone else selling them at. It seems there is a contingent of entitled people on this server that think just because they made a pixel elf that they somehow get to start at the same level (financially) as the people who have been playing on this server for years.

Pay your dues pixel elf.

I think its just that a lot of the population wants to start the movie over because they missed the beginning.
