Ah, I missed your point, I'm sorry freddy ^^ (and yes, it's always fun to argue when you agree, it is guaranteed to end well then bittty!)
With the case of many "free to play" players having a different mindset, that is oriented to be handed stuff without effort, as in not helping to gather mats etc, that is how it will always be. People who play a game because it is free often (definately not always, there are some really nice f2p-players in ryzom) have a mentality that means they expect stuff without giving anything back. This goes for both ryzom and any other game I've played.
I see how these players hide behind the "I can't dig the mats, sorry", but I also do not see how raising the cap would help. I can almost assure you that they would find another excuse to hide behind.
Ryzom is very different from most games, since great gear isnt really necessary (a decent set of amps is all it takes to do magic, no LA or jewels needed), and upgrades therefore aren't justified quite as often.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is tell them that their gear will work for a few more levels, that they will have to live with q130 armor since the crafter doesn't have mats/want to dig it. There are those who can accept it, and those who can't. Those who can't, I can live without.

"It's shite being tryker! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of Atys! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the Matis. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Marceline, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****** difference"
