It's always been 10 to 1. I think people though to this day still don't really think about how easy it is to acquire plat. You can kill just about anything, loot all its shit, and sell it to vendors, and you'll generate a bunch of money.
When I was grinding crag spiders for like 6 levels I just converted all the silk to swatches and sold the stacks for like 7.5p to the nearby vendors, made hundreds of plat. Maybe not 1000, but I'm sure it was close.
At low low levels though, seriously, just kill decaying skeletons -> look for ones with staves ideally or any weapons -> sell all the cloth and rusty weapons you get. You have a bunch of plat by the time you're level 5.
And stop grinding in places like Oasis crocs unless you already have a ton of money--it's heavily over camped and they drop literally nothing, you're going to go a bunch of levels making zero plat. You could be in Gorge with ZEM (maybe? unless they've changed it) selling ore/mino axes at that point killing mobs that drop coin.
