Unless you are going to have all ebs drop the equivalent gold in ebs this will seriously damage the ability of smaller players to upgrade their equipment. The idea of extra gold needed beyond level 10 for equipment would be plausible. If it were not for the fact that all it would do is overpower the equipment of the gold rich players and make them even less touchable. The only scenario I see happening is new lands. That said I honestly think a new lowlands released at the same time as whichever new lands comes next would help the smalls and midfield grow at a more acceptable rate, and also sidetrack some of the anger that will come from new lands that most won't be able to consider. That said. I have during the last event especially noticed a lot of players being very generous helping others with the large pay to play ebs. Fantastic to see and my respect to all those players that helped others.
