Unfortunately you have to read between the lines with Abashi-speak. If
they keep moving the bar up faster than the "average" player can
advance, than the time when they can do this is effectively never.

Unless you think that "after Verant ceases all development on Everquest"
is an acceptable time frame of course.

I do object to people always tossing in the k00l d00d and power gamer
cards though. As Brad stated a long time ago that he expected the
average player to make 50 in a year and we are now into month 11 I
really don't think the power gamer card is really that effective
anymore. It now seems to basically mean "anyone higher level than me".
