On the contrary, it's easier to start out now than at any time in P1999's past. Those rich folks who might win a random on a 2K drop are the same rich folks who've spent 4 years farming Kunark. Hence they're the reason you can deck yourself out in what by rights
should be expensive equipment for a mere pittance. New folks come out ahead relative to where they should be after their first couple months. I can go to East Commons and buy a Sword of the Morning for maybe 500P; historically during Kunark that same thing would've cost me 8 or 10 thousand on most servers. Perfectly good equipment is often sold for barely more than its vendor value. That's not bad compensation for losing a drop here and there.
In so many words, it all balances out, and you're not disadvantaged starting now.

That being said, if I had 500K I can't imagine I'd random against newbies on some 2K drop....but then maybe that's why I don't have 500K after this long here.
