When you would empty as much gear as possible and hang out near higher level folks who were slaughtering mid level critters and leaving the loot to whoever was brave enough to hang out in the area while they worked for a rare pop.(made several hundred plat this way)
When a higher level character would get an upgrade and find another lower level player of that class and pass the gear down the line.
When having a Druid doing ATM services was down right necessary. (Easier carrying 1000+ coins nowadays)
When getting a druid port to a place where evils were KOS could bring about a long CR!
Oasis was the place to go through on the way up in levels!
When being evil meant you either did loads of faction work or you didn't go anywhere without a lot of running or help.
