umm namelesshero, the nexus is a marketplace. you can easily trade, and i think not having an economy system (gold,silver, etc.) is a plus for the game, giving it a cool retro feel, which is very unique to most current mmorpg games. i understand what you are saying, though. i just think that having to obtain items by fighting gives them a lot more value than just buying them with money you can get from basically any monster in the game.
