Any harder than the people who got there first and didn’t have any market to work with, though? In every MMO I’ve played I’ve always known I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the no-lifers and oftentimes things are easier for those who get there first (exploiting bugs, easy way of getting gold/exp, or things like that that later get patched). I don’t really care if they have it easier as long as I’m able to enjoy myself and not hit a brick wall. I’d imagine once I hit T3 myself, the market is the market and I’m selling items I don’t need for that same markup?
Not being argumentative or trying to play devil’s advocate, I’m just wondering myself how it’ll all shake out. As I’ve said previously I really just don’t have enough context to know how it’ll be or understand the nuances but it doesn’t sound like too much of a problem to me so far, from what I’ve read. Maybe I’m totally pissed off and frustrated in a month or two, who knows! :)
