The OP is not wrong. Basically the server has been out for a while, so there is a huge difference in price between BiS and 2nd best.
Example:
FBSS 10k
Sash of the Dragonborn: 15k
RBG: 60k
Cloak of Flames: 125k
Or:
Hooded Black Cloak: 3.5k
Hierophant's Cloak: 45k
What irritates me, though, is the idea that it's hard to progress on this server. PLEASE. You can level insanely fast because half of your group is twinked to the gills and the other half has random dudes dropping in to give them high level buffs. You can then join a guild and the officers have probably been playing for two years and have literally every pixel in the game, so you are on the short list.
As a Paladin your path is PARTICULARLY easy because no one else plays the class. Join any casual guild and you'll have 41% haste and full valorium and such within a few months tops. Then you'll either get your books outright with the new raid rules or maybe buy them (only like 30k, which isn't that bad if you are 50+ and it is the fucking EPIC). Voila, Fiery Defender. Get lucky on a Hiero cloak in the crypt and boom, you're done - Deepwater is trash anyway with AC not working properly.
