People who CHOOSE not to spend hours playing this game, do just that, CHOOSE
not to spend hours playing. Hence, no one is discriminating against them on
issues of camping, they are simply takign themself out of the picture. You
seem to making sweeping generalizations again, not all high level players
"do not work....dont go to school etc". A large number of us hold full time
jobs, and simply choose to spend our free time playing this game.

From personal experience, even a level 50 character would have some
difficulties dealing with all the aggressive mobs in SolA, especially
clerics. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING in SolA will aggro any
player. Sure a Young goblin and even Cinder goblins aren't too hard to deal
with. However, when you walk into a room with a flame goblin, inferno
goblin, and cinder goblin wizards, it's goign to take you quite some time to
clear it. Hence, a group, no matter what level will be necessary to go
anywhere do just about anything in SolA. SolA is a very large zone, if you
are having a hard time finding a place to garner experience, perhaps you
aren't looking in the right place. Even at level 30 to level 34, there are
quite a number of places you can garner decent xp in the place.

I'm sorry to say that we are lookign at the big picture, just as you are,
but we don't have any bias when we do. It seems like ye have some
resentment against higher level players, for whatever reason, and that's
bleeding into your point of view. I'm not in the game 24/7, not even close
to it (excpet perhaps on the weekends, where I tend to play at between 12 to
14 hours, weeknights are about 4-7 hours a night). I don't profess to
understand what you are speakign of when "people complain about the
econonmy", but if two peeps are willing to come to an agreement to the
relative worth of an item... then I'd say the economy is workign just fine.
If you want to see a healthy economy in EQ in action, just attend the
bazaars that are held every saturday in the East Commonlands.

Further, if all you can manage to do in further posts is present yourself in
a resentful and accusatory way, I think this discussion with you is pretty
much done. If ye can't present your ideas without flaming anyone about
"whining" and telling us the solution is simply for us to stop playing,
perhaps it's best if this we all let this matter be.
