I think it depends on the class they're playing, and the equipment
in question. Giving a low level person full banded ot leather I don't see
as a big issue, sure it'll be good for them for the next 10 or 15 levels,
but there still many upgrades to all their pieces of equipment, and many
of them come as early as the mid teens. Frankly, I see most of my
true gaming experience in everquest as between levels 20 and 49, and
giving a player some equipment to carry them out of the newbie areas and
into the levels where people start to find regular groups and learn the
real joys of group dynamics and player interaction is definitely an
enchancement. Spending 8 hours chunks solo hunting wisps for money so I
can scrounge the last few plat I need for banded armor is definitely not
why I paid to play EQ.
