I was just pointing out your selective underlining. It implied that he
camped just to give it to another char, when he clearly said he didn't.
Most likely you were just kidding, but I was pointing out your excellent
skill in doing what I said.

I think you probably were too vague -- seeing as multiple people
(including me) have always seemed to treat this as a discussion on
twinking in general, not camping just to twink other chars. The topic of
specifically camping to twink other characters only came up yesterday,
as far as I could tell.

So, overall, looks like just a misunderstanding due to communication
difficulties. =)

Anyway, to summarize, yes I agree camping just to twink other characters
is bad. However I do not think that passing down old equipment or
equipment you got but couldn't use it bad.
