One more thing: today's newbies (yes, even newbies!) have too much money and
nothing to spend it on! They don't know the game, and therefore can't do eq
(even lowbie eq, like dirty legs, needs knowing where the area is and what mob
has it). The economy stagnates because of it. Too much cash in game that's not
going anywhere. In comparison, midbies/highbies have -problems- funding their
reincs, because the only way of getting real money has always been the sale of
eq. What is wrong with a knowledgeable player getting money for his knowledge
of the game? If highbies don't rape midbie eq, nobody will, because pretty
much the only people who lead eq are old players. So, if eq is 'raped' again,
there is a chance that midbies will participate in order to get their name on
it, and so learn the monster/quest/area you name it and get knowledge to make
the eq themselves. As of now, highbies don't bother with lesser eq, and
consequently there is nobody to -teach- players to make it. That's how i
personally see it, judging from my own small experience. So please do consider
the idea seriously.

But...if highbies do rape the midbie eq and sell it, this has two negative
impacts on newer players:
a) if eq is cheaply available, there's is little incentive to learn to make
eq. Unnamed-damage doesnt really affect low eq because the players outgrow it
sooner than it breaks.
b) If the new/low/midbie eq is raped by highbies, then the new/low/midbies
have 0 opportunity to learn to do those eq mobs -- any time they go to the
area, the eq is simply not there, and it really is frustrating to try a
miniquest or puzzle or such and be stumped simply because some of the pieces
have been taken/killed/etc already.

affected eq making by midbies/lowbies? I'd like to see stats on how many times
certain mobs are killed per month in comparison? Are there such stats? Would
be interesting to see proof.

newbies do not have some magical money source where this money comes from.
That means they obtain it from somewhere. Newbies are weaker than all other
players, therefore its possible for anyone more experienced than a newbie to
make at least as much money as a newbie. So if newbies have too much money,
everyone else should have too much money too.

Too much money is relative. A newbie's level gold cost isn't 1.5M per reinc.

eq..by heart im still a newbie, but i know quite few mobs that i want to lead
etc, but the problem is noone wants to come with because its a 'newbie'
leading it..and no offence to some people, but i dont want to take a bunch of
level 50 idlers to do eq, even if its just smaller eq.
