why so much drama? you are not forced to do it. find another solution you are comfortable with. old methods just doesn't work anymore. as you said, it is a sandbox game. there is money in the economy. all reckless chars got 1000k dappers. they need armor, xp help etc. just find a new way for you. making gifts, donating dapper is NOT anymore. we are all survivors.
Calling it drama is sidetracking the debate. Since Ryzom now is heading the way of most games, let us compare them then. In most games you can earn enough doing an activity to support that activity, it beeing fight, craft, gathering resources etc. Currently you cant if it involves any teleportation or financing of tools. Yes, there are other ways to earn dappers like doing missions, but my point was, do we want Ryzom to have an economy based on missions?
Also basing the economy on players signing up reckless characters on their accounts for the merge sounds like a very short term ease of the itch. What about new players?
But I will give it some time to see how it goes before deciding if playing is giving me the pleasure I'm after, because at the end of the day, we play and pay for the fun and not for the sake of anything else.
No fun, no play (pay)!
