This comment + Paulo got me thinking about wealth in the real world.
In the real world the rich sink a lot of wealth into the less rich.
My upper middle class neighbors pay other people to mow their lawn,
those people are not poor, and the nieghbors are not rich, but there
is a substantial difference in incomes.
I don't see anything like this happening in the games I have played.
All the sinks have been player to game, rather than player to
player. Anyone aware of games that had a strong system of player to
player trade? DAOC has a pretty good system of high level to high
level trade, but nothing where lower level players provide goods or
services to higher level players in exchange for cash or items.
My theory is that a system that did this might lead to a more
complex and interesting economy than the current systems where
transactions are either high level to high level or player to game.
