Otherwise, if you try to trade glove atk 60% scrolls for overall int 70% scrolls, you'd need to trade 6 overall int 70% scrolls for 5 glove atk 60% scrolls and it's just a hassle.
I don't care if it's 5mil or 600 mesos.
If overall int 70% are worth 5/6 as much, then they are 500 mesos each.
It's still equivalent, just on a smaller scale. Money is useful because it can be traded for items and redistributed (5:6 values, 1 item for 3, etc.), it's not inherently valuable.
& as for 9 to 5 vs. "investment" it's not jealousy, it's a lifestyle. I won't be a part of ripping off noobs, it's not worth the money. I realize my value system is kinda different from your typical capitalist "pineapple the peons, I'm a grab as much cash as I can get and it's their own fault they're poor".
