point is i will never buy gold i will never buy equip i will never buy a level 50 char. i want to play this game the way it should be played. i want to achieve level 50 and build my own boat/house. i want to kill the giant dragon called 'big massive dragon that no one can kill!' just to say 'yes this is his claw that i use as a weapon, i killed him' people who buy gold! why dont you just go and play wow/eq2 they are much easier games to level and its real easy to get gold in those games.
whats the point of playing a game which is based on an economy, and then buying the economy with real money? seems dumb to me. like one of those old cheats in games that makes you invulnerable.

From what I have worked out over the years, trying to understand people who buy advancement in a game (gold, equipment, power-leveling services. character purchase), they seem to be more interested in getting to the "end game" and collecting the "best stuff" rather than enjoying the journey and the little successes along the way.
Some of them just want to be part of the elite, some may just want go quickly join RL friends who are high levels.
It isn't even a question of the game, whether it is EQ, EQ2, WoW, or Vanguard, there will always be people who want a short cut to "win" the game because getting to the end zone is all that is important to them. Seen from the perspective of those of us who love the journey, it seems a waste of a good game, seen from their perspective it can be expressed as "I pay my monthly fee, I just want to play the game the way I want to, leave me be".
