You should get your crafts lvl'ed and spend your time making sure the poor people on each server are well taken care of without any compensation.

I'm new, I'm poor, I buy from Market Wards, and I don't whine on the forum items are too expensive.
If you can't afford it, then farm some items, sell them (overpriced or not), then buy what you need.
(And if you're willing to help a newbie getting his items, you can buy me an explorer's choker, i won't say no)
When I started the game I was very poor...haha I had nothing. No one really made any special exceptions for me nor did I expect it ^^; I met some nice folks who would craft me the items for free if I gave them the materials (I do the same now for people) and some people helped me get the items off NM's (Like that sheep nm, the staff from that spitfire mob or w/e)
Then I slowly leveled all my classes to 50...once that was done I got fishing to 50, and worked on getting each class to 50. Now I am no longer poor but its really not that hard. I can level a craft from 1 to 50 in a few days, its really easy if you know how...heh its the gathering classes that take forever. Uggggh...but then again that is where all the money is at.
This thread reminds me of a day. Late in September 2010 I believe. There were no rich players, there were no poor players. There were just players.. some with motivation.. others without.
There's a reason the only ambient sounds I heard for the first 90 days of gameplay were the sounds of hammers and saws.
