Absolutely not. I think what you're doing is wonderful. I really wish that
I would have gotten into the "merchant" business myself. A friend of mine
is the trading, buy-low/sell-high fiend. He constantly has incredible items
and mountains of loot. Unfortunately, it can really cut into your actual
"adventuring" time. I was one of those players who _never_ did any quests
in my lower levels, and generated all my loot from creatures that I could
beat solo (I grouped maybe twice from level 1 - 15). Needless to say, I was
one miserably poor bard.

No way.

All you can do is explain to them. Some will think you're a twink anyway.
Nothing you can do to change their opinion, so I wouldn't even bother.

Heck no. You have every right to play your character however you see fit.
If others disagree... big deal. It's a computer game.... no one should get
that aggravated over a game (even though they do).
