The fact is that you should be required to update your equipment every few levels. Whether that's impossible in the current economy or not is another matter altogether.

No, I don't think that's unreasonable at all. The fact is that the population is low, and there's not many new players coming in, so gear in the lower levels is harder to come by, and from what I've seen pretty damn expensive. I could buy a new lance and maybe another piece of equipment and I'd be broke. So what are my options? Farm for gear at level 11 that I'll replace shortly thereafter. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I really don't like the idea of farming for hours after my first day of playing. What kind of first impression is that? I get owned in rank 10 leves at rank 11, and my only option is to buy new gear that I either can't find or can't afford.

Low level gear should be easily accessible and common.
