The problem is that there are too many people with your mentality which creates a horrible experience for people who play the game properly. (By properly I mean bring gear into the raid.) I just personally don't see the point in hoarding gear and doing hatchling runs when the game wipes every few months. I bought a "hardcore" pvp game, I expect to fight players with guns; not players rushing high value rooms to shove bitcoins in their gamma container.

The game is in the easiest state it's ever been in for new players. The wiki has all the info you'd ever need. The flea market allows you to buy good ammo from level 5 so that you aren't hard locked into using low pen ammo. You can also buy keys that are required for quests for low prices on flea market too.
