trade

do players really buy chars from trade? i mean look at these prices...:D

[Skuddy]

it's cheaper to buy a geared character than it would be to buy said gear from the marketplace. someone people have no issue dropping that kind of cash to get right into endgame.

Some also just farm and sell gold over a long period of time or level and sell cheap max level characters, saving coins to eventually buy a costly character, not really dropping the whole amount themselves, but gathering coins other people donated.
