New To The DDO Store With U18

I understand your displeasure. I think the validity boils down to your intent for the game. If your goal is to create Teh Gr8test Toon EVAH, then you're going to have to spend a lot of money to keep pace with the pay-to-win munchkins. Not saying that's not a valid intent, BTW. If your intent is to have a toon that "carries its weight" in a group of either people you know or PUGs with most of the game's players, then you just ignore all that munchkin stuff like most players will.So, I haven't played DDO in 2-3 weeks. I start up the patcher today for the hell of it and the first thing to greet my eyes is:
Ugh. This game is increasingly becoming pay to win to the point that it's disgusting. Pretty soon, Otto's Box is going to become a permanent staple in the store w/ people paying $50 to *not* play lvl 8-18 content. It's such a joke. Off to excuse myself from my current guild and make some room on the hard drive.

Just finished up the Sharn Syndicate adventures as well as the Catacombs. Have to say I was pretty impressed with both adventure packs. Really liked the Catacombs. It had nice atmosphere, interesting story elements and good quests. Really glad I subscribed so I can get access to these awesome adventures.
It's also important to have the right equipment for certain quests.
