I've seen a level 3 buying 15k armor. Just sickening. Here I was, working toward my 15k armor, fighting the whole way there, salvaging my own crafting material, earning my own gold (sure, a few lucky drops, but I still earned it!)... feeling all pretty and sparkly... *sigh*
It's a good thing 15k armor looks so good, otherwise I'd boycott.
The odd thing is that I never got one virgoods PM ad til I quested with a smite monk in the desert who was rather... immature and rude. She ended up leaving in the middle of quest (gee, darn). Coincidence?
