Most of the folks I know who have enough money to play and level their chars to 50 are farmers...

As a paladin, the cost to fight, survive, and take care of my team was over 40K between yesterday and today.
I bought a campaign that I can't afford to play.

Like I said, maybe I just need to stop playing... I'm one of the few who seems unhappy. Most of you on the forums are saying how perfect AO3 is... If you all think AO3 is perfect, then the problem is mine... I should accept that and stop playing.
