and thank goodness!
there is just too dang much gold, and too many ways of getting it.
personally, i far prefer having to think (no slams allowed here!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />), and part of that action involves planning how i go about creating (building) my character.
in the past it was simply too easy.
btw, i would assume i sufered as much as anyone in this change - my merchant value of all carried arrows was just over 12,000,000 gold. yikes!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
