I kinda liked the fact they were cheap, and i only bought the ones that I really liked anyway, I've gotten away from buying items for the sake of having a bigger inventory, if i don't like the item and won't ever wear it I'm not going to buy it, or if it doesn't look good on my avatar, I won't buy it either, every item i get i make sure it matches with my avatar, if it doesn't I don't want it.
true, i've gotten away from buying everything, but now i buy items that can make multiple outfits. Some of the items, like those robes, are too limiting. They look great, but you can only really make like one avi with them, and i don't like that. I think that most new items should be able to be used in more than one way. Otherwise it's just a huge gold sink. It won't win the arena, and there are then a ton of other avi's that look the same as you when you walk around in towns. I guess for me it's just about how versatile the thing can be.
