Probably. The RP standards weren't what they are now.

Nope! Although I sure spent a lot of time regearing other Masters period. He was my first character past about 20-25th level and all of the high end areas of the time were new to me, so I tended to come up with a lot of phat loot that I had no personal use for.

That's an interesting question... presumably the gods would have kept fighting, but sooner or later SOMEone would have blown the horn.

Speaking only for myself, I get tired of arguing about it because I don't think either is broken.
