When, as you point out, veteran players have hundreds of thousands-to-millions of plat stocked up, amounts that then have an impact on market prices (as items which might otherwise be somewhat more reasonably priced are inflated, knowing that they're often being sold to alts of the aforementioned extremely rich players as opposed to actual new characters who don't have those kinds of resources), the fact that new players may get more hand-me-downs than they would've during the same period on live isn't really a balanced tradeoff. They - and by they I actually mean "we," given I only started at the end of April myself - are likely much farther behind on the whole than they were on live outside of whatever lucky giveaways happen to land on them.

Most those hand-me-downs you are so quick to discount make leveling 1 to 60 much much easier.
Most the items that are out of reach and unfairly held by the fat-cats are either pure vanity, or needed only at the top level of raiding.
I'd say you have it much better than someone 5 months in back in 2010.
