[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 9553227, member: 9254"] I'm not going to derail this with a real world economics discussion, but generational wealth and community-provided services are massive drivers in actual wealth, usually because these are what provides the mechanisms to teach humans those skills. I will tie this back to in-game by pointing out the vast majority of elves, gnomes and dwarves get to take advantage of the "generational wealth" that come from having parents that are individually the embodiments of "accumulated multigenerational wealth" by dint of on average being productive adults for a century or so prior to procreation, thus having accumulated~4 human generations of wealth. This ignores any true generational wealth from the grandparents, which would add 4-10 more human generations of accumulated wealth. Just consider this, if elves were real, if today an elf went to the funeral of a grandparent who died of old age, that grandparents was likely born in the 1300s. They would predate Columbus. It's probable they had children before the Americas were common knowledge to Europeans (or Europe was common knowledge to Americans) [/QUOTE]
