I mean, that is more money than most people see in a lifetime in game.
What is, 2000 gold? Given how easy it is to get 2000 gold in EA, how much easier will it be in the full game (unless of course they rein it in, and make it harder)?
I believe he's talking about the economy of the setting. The average person in the setting, meaning NPCs, aren't rolling in gold coins, magic gear, and purple panties. That's player privilege right there.
Got it. Yes, that's true. That's the case in pretty much every PnP game, too.
