First off, wealth-by-level was CLEARLY a suggestion in 3e, not a "requirement." You could easily ignore those tables altogether.Secondly, just because players are assumed to have a certain amount of wealth/resources doesn't mean that those resources will be as necessary in 4e as they were in 3e. For example, I'm guessing/hoping that 4e will see the end of monsters with DR that requires magic weapons to overcome. We already KNOW that they're making certain other magical items less mandatory by doing things like giving red dragons the ability to "burn away" your fire resistance. And the move to per-encounter and at-will spells means that you won't need to carry around wands of Cure Light Wounds to heal up the party between encounters, while abilities like Second Wind will probably limit the party's reliance on healing potions.So basically, a 15th-level party with no magical items will certainly be less powerful than a 15th-level party with the "recommended" wealth, but in 4e the DM can hopefully adjust for that by just pitting the party against monsters a couple levels lower, rather than radically adjusting stuff as you'd have to do in 3e.</blockquote>
