Well for me that $30 40 slot 100% bag kinda pisses me off. I'm not in the business of paying for advantages or playing with people who pay for advantages. I can maybe stomach pay-to-not-grind but outright buying advantageous items, nah. And that's purely on principle, not the value of $30 vs. my time

Always respected WoW for that being the one shark they never jumped.

I have not felt the touch of another human being since the mid 2000's. I was not rash in this decision. I concluded the risk of contacting a potential biovirus, which would consume the world within hours, not days, was not worth the reward of being able to be a neighbor.

My props to those still above ground. You are made of sterner stuff. God rolls dice.

I don't know how accessible good WR bags are in modern EQ, or even whether there's still encumbrance, so I can't gauge how impactful these items are. But like I said, it's the principle. You are paying RL money for an in-game advantage, which might be a huge quality of life thing, depending on how hard WR bags are to get. It may not make your character more powerful in combat but it's still a significant advancement.

Yea. I'm buying the bag don't get me wrong. But I'm not happy about the highly successful money grab they pulled off here. As long as they don't try to continue to do it too often I can live with it.

i get what your sayin,

obviously a money grab and it works, like alot of people we all bought it. 15 bucks isnt a ton of money but if 800 people buy it.

The server is instanced, how does somebody supporting the server and gaining a weight reduction bag impact you in any way? They will be in a completely different instance than you. Raid mobs will die within hours of each expansion launching. Zlandicar will be 3-manned. Thats the nature of prog servers. It means nothing if somebody else pays for an advantage.
