I've only other D&D I played was 15+ years ago (in D&D basic) and I can remember that by the time I reached 6th level I had so much magical stuff I was giving away +1 swords to street urchins so they could have something to play with in their spare time.Now it seems that "discovered" magic gear is so hard to come by (usually in the form of a bigass sword which only the fighter can use - don't ask how many fights we've had over the +1 ring of protection!) and that most of the gear has to be bought from large towns.Don't get me wrong...I actually like the new rules better (I feel so guilty about those power-munchkin days) ...but it's just getting a bit frustrating when one or two of my fellow team-mates can chew up and hour of game time um'ing and ah'ing about what equipment they want to buy (ugh...and arguing with the DM about how the gear they have found - usually in a non-WOTC supplement - is not underpriced and the DM should let them buy it at the set price)!I guess it's all part of the game ("whatever sizzles your bacon" n' all...). I just wanna know if this is an issue other people have found with D&D; do other people find part of the appeal of D&D is getting the gold just so they can peruse the equipment lists?("Check out the performance stats on this set of armour! I've so gotta get me one of those babies!")</blockquote>
