Heh - Actually, the reason I haven't kabong!ed this borderline thread
is the fact that gaining 50th *is* important to all of us, and
frankly, many of us want to know what we will be doing when we get
there.

By the time I reach 50th level Verant will have upped the level limit to
about 250... However I do agree that something must be done about
harvesting low level mobs for twinkie treasure by high level characters.
the only cool stuff I own I have bought. I have exactly one item that I
got the hard way and it was a quest item. (polar bear cloak) Everything
else is bought. Not a bad thing in theory but there is a sense of
accomplishment from "winning" your good items that is missing when you are
temperamentally incapable of sitting in the same place for 15 hours game
time.

My suggestion: random spawn points for the named NPC's that carry the good
stuff.
