Buying plat is one of those things that happens. Kind of like the plague... Coyote has quite the unique commentary.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Stop with the SPAM! Just stop! I don’t want to buy your plat! I’m not interested in your gold! I don’t care that you are Kathy Lee Gifford and have a hundred and six child slaves chained to pc’s in your sweatshops, wearing their little fingers down to bloody nubs as they harvest nodes in order to bring the savings directly to the customer!

So please, please, think of the children! Also, check out Aggro Me's thoughts on change in EQ2.
