| As long as the best stuff in the game is no-drop off raid level mobs then who cares. Buy all the plat you want but still be a gimp compared to a hardcore raid guild player. Its that way in WoW and EQ, and almost certainly will be in VG.
Same deal to a lesser extent with the WoW PVP rewards system. Some of the PVP gear is really nice, but you cant buy pvp skills off ebay.
Bottomline: People who buy buy plat will still be relegated to the same low-end crap just like they've always been.
Now, if SOE starts putting a lot of droppable gear in the EQ2 endgame equivalent of Anguish to boost their auction revenues - then people will have a reason to be pissed. |
