They are doing this on seperate servers. Even so, it appears to not be going over well with many players.

Hmm missed the separate servers part

I've heard good arguments on both sides of the fence on this one. One side contends "I'm either a poor/honest player who can't afford/doesn't believe in buying super items instead of putting in the work everyone else has to. It took me 100+ hours of waiting for this to happen and it's not fair for someone to buy it for 40 real bucks"

The counter argument is (and i thought it was a good argument) "I'm worth about 150 bucks an hour, when i can get a 100*150 = $15,000 item for 40 bucks it's a steal. I save time and ultimately money."

I play for a couple hours (not EQ) here and there when i get a chance it's mainly to kill time or do a quest or 2. Why spend money to get a character with full stats and all the best equipment in the game? Then why would you ever want to play the game again? So it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
