As to the argument of new players not able to catch up in money, that holds true to all MMOs, those who made money early shouldnt be penalized because of players who joined the game late and have no money.
Also there is no real need for money. Pretty much everything can be made that which cant can drop off one of the very easy to kill mid rank NM's. All you need to do is make a few friends and ask them to craft something for you. The only real use to money now is to collect it, build a giant money bin and swim in it like uncle scrooge.
you made a lot of start up money, Basically as the crafting game goes on, and the market wards get more convenient, there is a real possibility people are going to end up making less money crafting. Many people already look at crafting as ok to lose money. But this is an issue that will occur even if botting isnt an issue.

the no real need for money is an issue of people like yourself, you got multiple crafts at 50, gatherers, you belong to a ls full of others with anything you are missing. This is more about how it effects a new player.

think of coming into a game where the rich peoples have 100000million, and the normal dudes have 50 million. gathering items sell for crap, and you cant make money off your crafts till level 30. It may not be an issue, but its something you have to examine.
one good thing ill say, doesnt seem like normal items are prohibitively expensive right now, inspite of all the money people have
