	why is very very top equipment a requirement? should we just randomize the higher end results? I know this is a game of numbers. but remember when people would steal equipment and all and beable to sell it or hide it! that was darke! remember when armour could be stolen? and how everyone didn't touch a tinker because they wanted to get more? or kill enchanters? we had some good wars because of a kill of a tinker or enchanter. that was darke! how can we go back to fun and living life the darke way? found some old policy files about the players run the rules of the mud and if you don't like it fight for change! well we have some perful players on the mud that have a few high level hiatus players as well that kinda cause things to be top heavy. but what would bring back the days of darke?

	I don't know why things changed so drastically but now Darke is more a game of idlers than active players. Probably with CMS you don't have to do anything but idle to get big and good at what you want to do (tinker or enchanter). Equipment could be redone too because the best gear is so much better than the worst that the best gear is the average?

	so was cms the start of it all? for idleness?

	I only came in after CMS, but in my opinion, the same group has pretty much had the monopoly on everything since I started 7 years ago. When I started, I don't think I had full TAed laen until maybe 1.5 years after I started, I didn't even have a forged staff and was 18 combat. At that time though, there were things to do for me other than power level. When you're power leveling, you need the best equipment, or you simply can't level as quickly as you'd like.
