Many people are not in the same situation. What are the players who have essentially no gold at all supposed to do. I love the challenge. I just think it should be more along the lines of Frozen Nightmares for a level 30, challenging, but survivable even without elixers. Elixers should never be necessary. If they are going to be, then they should cost about 1/10 of what they do now.
My least favorite thing about AO3 is that it is clear I cannot continue to be generous with new players, giving them good deals, or just giving them items. I have to count and hoard my gold now...
