Sure, it's not as easy to get real world currency but you can spend it on such better things. Most equipment in EQ isn't even noticeable. Reed belts? 5 wis, 10 hp, 6 AC? Like that's really going to do jack shit? Like most items, can't even see it on your character. You would need a LOT more than that to even cast one more spell and ONLY in the situation where you're going from FM to OOM. You would need a lot more than that to even survive a SINGLE more hit. Or what else do people waste ridiculous amount of pp on? Gonna drop tens and tens of thousands of plat on an FBSS and a bunch of other haste items so instead of being 1/10th the DPS of a charmed pet you can be 1/9th of one? When I see someone with a flaming sword sitting AFK in the EC am I admiring them? No, I'm wondering when the last time they went outside or took a shower was.

Truly, you have found the answer to the meaning of life. Where has this wisdom been over the past thousands of years? Why have almost all of us been pointlessly pursuing our individual interests instead of the interests that some other, random person thinks we should pursue instead? OH GOD, ALL THE WASTED TIME!!!!
