I made ~3100pp by the time I was 27 on my warrior. this has allowed me to buy a lamentation, an hp ring (someone gave me another hp ring), bronze from vendors etc. someone else hooked me up with a handful of other pieces, too (cobalt gloves/boots, jarsath trident, staff of battle, jagged war sword!). between friendly, helpful players and putting my nose to the grind stone in areas that produce good platinum for lower levels, I'm doing pretty well despite the economy.
the economy is a little intimidating price wise, but like the aforementioned said.. group in places that drop things, win loot, sell loot, buy loot. it will work itself out eventually. sorry it might take a little longer than it took on live to acquire things, but it is by no means broken or undoable.
this will also motivate you to figure out quests and drops you can do on your own without using EC as the way to gear yourself! I'm able to do some of the crafted quests here shortly, I've camped the bracer of erollisi, I'm not too far away from being able to do the hero bracer quest. the tough part is getting to 35+ when a lot of doors start opening up, just gotta stick with it.
