I levelled a toon from 5 to 30 before the offline levels were removed and when I hit level 20 the item shop opened like a cheap whore flashing her panties touting for business. I felt like I do when I get doorstepped by some tard selling whatever it is they're selling....don't dare shove your wares in face. If I want to buy something I'll go and buy it.
