You're applying single-player game mentalities to a
multi-player game. Spawns that give things like rubicite are
a limited resource. If someone uses his high level character
to get equipment like that for his low level characters, he is
depriving others of the chance to get that item, thus
increasing the camping problem on that spawn. It is not
jealousy, it is a legitimate gripe that someone has figured
out a way to cut in line and get two or more of something,
when you're still waiting in line to get one.

(And I'll repeat what I said last time: The real meta-issue
behind this problem is server overcrowding. If the servers
weren't so crowded, this would be much less of a problem
because the "lines" would be shorter or nonexistant.)
