I've played a LOT of MMORPGs and I have to say that the money issues are not exclusive to EQ2. I find that most games keep you broke until you get toward the end game. As an example I also play WOW and you can purchase your first mount at lvl 30, but it costs something like 45g to get the most basic one. The problem is that at lvl 30 I still haven't made enough gold to buy my new spells let alone get a mount. I looked up how to make the money and they all say to spend a lot of time buying and selling at the auction house. This is why gold sellers are such a problem in most MMOs. In most cases if you want a top notch character you have to buy gold. Which of course sucks.
The only other avenue is to have a friend who is already at the end game and can make a donation to your cause.
