It really irks me when twinkers conclude that people who don't
like twinking are just jealous of them. Twinkers are unable
to see (or incapable of grasping the concept) that they are
hastening the demise of the in-game item/gold economy and
monster/player balance that Verant has worked to maintain, and
thus conclude that they are innocent and people who don't like
twinking are at fault.

Of course the meta-issue that causes this problem in the first
place is that Verant hasn't realized they need better money
sinks, and some type of item sink. Stuff needs to wear out
and be consumed, otherwise a year or two down the road, we're
going to need a world reset.
