Are we hindering newcomers with our generosity?

[Valrok]

I don’t know about everyone else, but I often find myself with extra pieces of loot lying around. In the past I have found myself donating this loot to newer players that are not necessarily searching for handouts but could obviously use the upgrade. Lately though I have been wondering to myself if I am doing them an injustice by handing them such easily obtained gear, if I am somehow robbing from them the experience of the long hard road that is leveling up from having nothing in Everquest. After all, starting from the bottom and building your character , at least for me, is a large part of what makes me proud of the character I have in the end.

I guess I just wanted the community’s opinion and seeing how barren these forums seem to be lately maybe start a new topic of discussion.
