Nanobyte, I too apologize for my seeming belligerence. Being the new kid here, I should tread more lightly I suppose. I appreciate your (and the other's) view on the $mod, although it differs from my own.

I've had MW for about a month. Coming from topend EQ, I enjoy what it is, and more importantly what it is not. I play almost daily, for a couple hours up to several. My being an accomplished thief (aside from archer/swordsman/conjurer/blades-operative/freelancer), I grew frustrated with the accumultion of loot stacked away while not being able to turn it into usable cash. Thus I opted for the $mod versus trading/waiting for seemingly days on end. I really don't see my trespass here. It's a different means to the same end.

Has it ruined my game? Doesn't feel like it. True enough that I am stronger, and dealing with mobs I encounter is a bit less challenging as it stands, but then I've yet to leave the west/south coasts of the isle. In no hurry at all, enjoying the ride, hopefully it will last. Am a bit disappointed however that there are seemingly more run/talk/report quests versus just good 'ol crawling/fighting...so far anyways. I've spent most of the money so far (save about 5k) on enchantments...and some light training. An openlock/100 amulet, paralyze daedric LS, a levitation ring. Still the game offers lots of challenge in figuring out quests and exploring and staying alive in general. Stuck trying to find a murderer in Vivec right now...no clue. I am enjoying it. At level 18 I've trapped some dremora lords, even got one Gold Saint, tho I believe that was more a fluke of pathing AI and my bowmanship...rangers own!
Hmmm, so should I now unplug that official arrow merchant mod? ~

As far as the 'realistic' stance, I will not attempt a counter here at length as this is totally dependant on personal interpretation of an imaginary world. As is the whole of MW. As it should be.

You say pah-tah-toe, I say tater. ~

*forgive the edit, loathe syntax errors...
