Well he might not have been as much a newbie as you think.

I had been playing for at least 2 years, but I had always played medium-lv characters and never really stuck with just one. Well when I played a necromancer, I loved it so much that I just played and played and played until I was lv 65. Every single coin I ever earned went into spells (and those spells were expensive! Supposedly Bristlebane has/had a real messed-up economy). Well I was as high a lv as you could get and my gear was terrible -- all I had money for was spells and I never had enough to upgrade my armor.

So I asked a simple question: "What are some things that a lv 65 can do for a steady money income?"

Now I was no newbie. I knew that game pretty well and you could ask me anything and I would know the answer. I had always been poor in the game and it seemed that everyone else had lots and lots of cash, so if they all had a way of getting money then a lv 65 should have no trouble at all getting money as well.

Well I was accused of being an "ebayer" or that I was simply "playing my parents' account" (I doubt my parents could figure out how to turn the computer on in the first place, let alone play EverQuest). I am no ebayer. I had simply leveled so fast that I had a few questions.

You don't know anyone. Don't assume.

Lol, I just hate when that happens.
