First the safe question:

I am a level 12 enchanter, what gear/items do you think I should have?
Please answer this question as it is the one I am most interested in.

Now the others:

How do you (as in every one of you, all of your opinions count) determine
that a player has twinked? Is it by money? I have had several hundred
plat at level 12. I have spent much time on my jewelry business and it is
booming. Is it rare items? Most players have grouped with those a few
levels above them. What if you grouped with someone MANY levels above you
(say they needed someone with SOW or Invis)? Wouldn't they give you a turn
at looting? Didn't you stand toe to toe with them, fighting, and earn it?

What if you're a chicken and only fight blue/green's, getting little exp and
lots of loot. Take that loot and turn it into better items. If trading
with other players/NPC's was against the intent of Everquest, why did they
develop trade skill and an economy? If trading is OK, why couldn't someone
take months to level and still trade for the upper items (outpacing what
most feel is usual for that level)?
