Poor and Rich, no middle?!

In essence, it seems like your either poor, or rich. When decent starting weapons for anyone are around 100-300pp, but that is what you pretty much have until 1) you get lucky with a good drop in a group or 2) you save up for MONTHS to get one piece of equipment.

I think this is where the 'problem' is. Near end game weapons are available for a pittance. Of course the very best things are at a premium or are loot only.

Back in classic you would work you way up through fine steel / mino axes and so on. Now you spend your first few levels farming decaying skeletons, spiderlings and bears, giving you enough money for a weapon with a ratio better than anything that was in the game at release with change for a passable set of armour for the next 30 levels.

If you're looking for a game where you have meaningful upgrades to look forward to as your character levels up then don't use EC mart and plan your hunting around drops you want to acquire, forming groups to hit up those camps if needs be.
