Maybe I should just play what I enjoy and accept being moderately poor.

Keep the game fun and you'll do better in the long run than you will if you push hard doing something you dislike then burn out and quit. A million platinum hoard doesn't do you any good if you're too disgusted by the game to log on. In the long run, platinum gets used *mostly* for either obtaining removed items or creating twink alts. High-end equipment is mostly no-drop and obtained primarily via raiding. Adequate-quality middle tier equipment like Thurgadin armor is not hugely expensive. Lower end stuff like traditional leveling gear is outright cheap for the most part. If you aren't constantly spending your money on alt characters, it'll eventually accumulate. I've been "moderately poor" for my entire time on P1999 and it has not stopped me from doing everything I set out to do, and a lot more besides.
Look at my wife's shaman versus Shamwowi: His has much better equipment, but it's largely irrelevant in practice. They mostly do the same types of activities. She can solo the same WW dragons he can. Same for enchanters, the enchanter wearing 10K of low-end leveling gear is going to solo the vast majority of the same camps the enchanter in north temple veeshan gear will do.
