Don't forget that those same 'rich' high level players are the folks who played when the server opened. We spent many hours fighting in leather and maybe banded, wielding vendor-bought weapons, because there was nothing else. I used a Combine Longsword until I was in the mid 20's, haha.
~50P for SBD's, ~1P/AC for Bronze, People giving away Shiny Brass Halberds or the like means pretty well most people on the server classify as a 'twink' to some degree by the time they're in their mid/upper teens.
High-end gear prices are horribly inflated, I agree, but you don't need mithril 2-handers or GEBs to fight in Blackburrow or Unrest.
