In my opinion the economy is quite fine.Long ago it was harder for people to get decent gears when they just started because mvp cards were a lot cheaper then.Pvp items were also more expensive then.If you look at it now vote items, high priced mvp cards and low priced pvp items give new players a better chance and a shorter road to being comfortable playing.A little work mvping, voting and collecting when you join gets you the items you need to go from there.
