These are the few games my feeble mind has experienced... I must agree that it is annoying as a flamboyant homosexual trying to hit on you while you are trying to do you job as a waiter in a restraunt.. If you can understand my little comparison...
Everquest one when you first started back in 1999 was farely hard to aquire platnium even at its rate of currency..i remember 10k pp was 100.00 on Ebay at the time.... now 10kpp would easily clear 5-10.00 on ebay... you see as time flows it gets easier... its now 2005, EQ 2 came out in Winter of 2004, yes it was hard to aquire 1 gold starting out, but as you gain in levels it becomes fairly more easier to attain... i love how they have it set they make the game so much more challenging then the others by setting such a high currency rate... but as i am one person speaking i dont speak for all... but EQ1 got boring for me after playing it for 6 years, because it was so easy to attain money to buy the items i wanted, i mean yeah i enjoyed having the cash to buy what i wanted, but it also got tiring after a while there was no challenge for me.. i soon became spoiled and expected just to get the platnium and get what i want.../sigh borrring.....EQ2 i have to work, which may benefit some people in this amazing world we have in real life..
SOE tried to make this game challengings which you can easily assume when you see on the box ' over 1500 quests, hundreds of instances and zones to exploer' and by seeing the amazing artisan and class skill trees, this game is really the best by far and i can't wait till they make a better one if they can top EQ2 it will be a real challenge...
You are right it's horribly HARD! to attain, but it's a great idea!
