I missed out on Moldvay/Mentzer, although I recall at least one player had Moldvay, we all thought Basic D&D absurd, once we had graduated to AD&D.Aaron E.

This is likely why Gygax created the training rules in AD&D, requiring you to expend at least 1,500 gp x your current level as training costs to increase to the next level (AD&D DMG p.86). That was an effort to "burn-off" all that excess treasure.Aaron E.
