I mean, so long as you are the one putting in the hours, what does it matter which character receives the benefits? Higher level equipment still involves higher risk, since having your main die sucks. Just because all players havent put in the time to be able to take that risk doesnt mean those that have should suffer.
Good points... Altho:
For a level 40-50 it requires a lot less hours to acquire very good items than it would for a level 5-15.
It also is less risky for a level 40-50 than it is for a level 5-15 (regardless of how you play, as a high-level character does have access to more means of survival).
What do you suffer by not being allowed to do what others cannot do?
An independent example:
Would you find it OK for my ThorMag to buy Potions of Healing (which he doesn't really need, as I don't play him too often these days, and he has more than enough to dive) for one million a piece from my ThorPri, whilst paying only 10k a piece to other players?
A problem with making rules about this is: How do you NOT cheeze, if no other players are currently selling the potions you want. You pay too much, and you're cheezing the low level char. You pay too little, and you're cheezing the high level char.
The most significant difference between cheezing and non-cheezing would be intentions. Do you sell those potions to yourself to enrich yourself (avoiding the giving-away-gold-rule)? Or do you sell them to yourself because nobody else is buying/selling these potions, and you want them sold/bought.
And unless you know a true mind reader, the true intentions cannot be found. Thus making this not against the rules (but still considered cheezy).
If such were to be apprehended, it would be if they pay extremely high/low amounts of gold (10 gold / 1 million gold).
