Why do people want even treasure splits?

That's what I'm not getting. People in this thread seem to be treating things as though melee is either on an equal or near equal footing with the casters, or utterly useless to the point of being a liability. Neither of those are what I've seen happen most games. Most games I've seen, the fighter is still contributing in most fights to where it's better to have them along than not, but are still contributing less than an equal leveled caster, and would still be more useful with the extra items than the caster would.

You're not alone, I'm as baffled as you are. "What, you can't rewrite reality in 6 seconds like I can? You're fired, hand over your stuff so I can melt them down and buy more wands!"
