good idea robert
still waiting on the 'become dev for a day' plat purchase tho
I agree , to me the ideal solution would be eliminating plat elixirs and go back to selling maps, vanities etc. but we all know that's not going to happen.
And as far as it being wack, well, a year ago I would have agreed with u but as of right now I don't see it being much different than what went on this last weekend. The next logical step is just eliminating the pretense and going through the motion that people (hopefully myself included) aren't just buying levels.
The only real down side I would see would be further separating those who have and those who have not. I think those who don't level with plat are looked down upon as second class players. I may be getting soft in my old age but I've gained a big admiration for the players who just play this game for fun. There's a whole lot of people out there running black smoke in mt fang gear. I've even seen several using blizzard sticks and non pink gear. When these guys wipe at the boss, they don't rage quit, they respawn and run all the way back to the boss. They are kind and encouraging to each other and even get excited when they get purple drops. During mt fang I would save all the non set pinks and pass out to players who need them but I didn't play humania enough to get any extra pinks (plus the prices skyrocketed because all pinks made a set) so I can't do that in black smoke. These people don't play to collect pinks, pad their kill count, collect all vanities, they just play for fun...you know, I may have just talked myself into leveling the old fashioned way. Lol.

As someone who buys a fair amount of plat and has certainly benefited from that, I totally disagree with the OP on this. If anything, I think there is too much plat in game. Someone in another thread said they bought 77k plat in one year? What!?!? I've been playing since February and I've purchased about 6k plat, and still have a nice amount of that leftover (I purchased most of it during the plat sale). I didn't start purchasing plat until June, and I have to say that the game seemed slightly more fun when I was a noob and didn't use any plat. Back then I was very excited when I would drop a rare pink. Now I only get excited if it is something epic and worth millions. Back then I was extremely excited when after 2 months of saving gold I managed to purchase a Fortified Gemstone Set without having ever spent any plat up to that point. Now I buy and sell 3-4 of those fortified sets per week, along with another dozen or so sets that I always have in inventory. But this is probably the main reason I started merching. Because it presents a real challenge that nobody can buy with plat. I can make millions of gold each week without spending any plat. Anyone can drop a few thousand plat and spend the week farming with shamus elixirs, get a bunch of pinks, and then sell them. But try making a few million gold in a week without spending any plat -- not so easy. And now you want people to just be able to buy an end game character without even working for it. Very sad indeed... I guess I dread the day when this is no longer actually considered a game but a contest instead. How about we just enjoy playing the game a little bit, because it's actually a game and we play games to have fun.
