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.

My main is a warrior, on live just like here. I started on server launch. If you think hard to get wealthy player stuff is a pain and hand me downs are all you got I don't want to hear it. I leveled when banded and bronze were leet.
You get much better stuff as a lowbie. The weapons alone that you can easily afford are a massive upgrade. Yeah affording a fungi as a new player is not going to happen, but you don't need a fungi to level up.
