I will probably play both some as long as they are in free beta, but I'm pretty sure I won't subscribe to either.Actually the loot thing is kind of funny. All you need is a monster dropping a gem (crystal, sapphire, or anything like that) to score around 100k coins and be on your merry way. Also there are a couple of things like scrolls for upgrading things that you can sell to other players quite fast for nice prices (just do the /merchant thing with these for show in a busy place and go get a sandwich or something, chances are in less than 10 minutes someone will have bought it from you if you price them competitively).
A funny thing happened to me yesterday. I got a quest from the Knight Captain about killing some foreign scouts and bringing back the maps of the country they were drawing. I did just that, it was a tough fight to be sure but I managed, only to have him tell me "You have to be level 30-35 to complete this quest!".
Uh... I'm level 22. I think I just completed a quest almost 10 levels above what I should be able to do. Heh.
