I find this to be a very reasonable assumption - in fact, I suspect, lots and lots of D&D gamers play the game this way; as opposed to sandboxy emergent play. In 3e, we had gear as a worthwhile gold sink. So far, I have not found anything of similar utility that motivates me to actually care for the gold pieces I find. In short, if the only thing I can purchase for my wealth is a tavern and the finery of an aristocrat, I don't want it. Why? Because my character is off to the next adventure where none of that matters in the slightest**.My point? That WotC so far have not catered for my style of D&D play. 5th edition simply isn't compatible with 3e until something tangible can be bought for all the gold PC's are showered in.Best,Zapp**) Not entirely true: I appreciate a bit of backstory and charactization as much as anyone. But I certainly don't want to have to account for it! (In other words, money needed only to keep up appearances with no significant game impact when we're actually playing the game is money I don't want to keep track of)</blockquote>
