Wrong. You misunderstood my post.
The amount of money I accumulated naturally from selling off drops over the course of grinding to that level should be more than enough to buy my armor and weapons. I shouldn't have to sell all of the stuff in my inventory, go to the armor shop, and see that one piece of armor is still well beyond my means.
Here's an example:
FlyFF (which I quit years ago, cash shopping piece of crap) had an extremely unreasonable jump in prices the at level 60. You went from spending 40-90k to 1.6mil for your body armor. If you were lucky, you picked up a rare item or two and happen to have that much saved up. Realistically, if you only got the usual drops and a few high priced NPCable items, you'd never have that much saved up. The food necessary (and I do mean necessary) to level costed roughly around 22-80k per stack, and depending on your class, refreshers and FP pots were around that same price. It takes at least ten stacks for one grind trip (won't even get you a level). Money sinks at their best.
People sold their parties, all of the clothes off of their backs, sold plevels, basically anything they could think of in order to obtain their MINIMUM armor. That's far beyond a reasonable economy.
It got even worse at 80-120 (this has changed since, I believe). That armor wasn't even sold by NPCs. They had to be dropped by mobs, which was very rare, and of course prices skyrocketed.
I also don't want to buy an armor set and find my pockets completely empty.
THAT, dear sir, is what I mean.
