I say no there isnt... i dislike having to collect/pick up every spoon, glass and plate to be able to afford gear... im still pretty diligent though and have found i could generally get the +1 gear, potions etc with only a few thousand left over in prep for the next level gear we will be seeing... not everyone likes to grind every copper out of every environment... currently seems reasonable to this gamer who falls somewhere right between casual and power play styles...
