this is because there is nobody from staff to think a market strategy to give a chance to new influx of players that core have now to enjoy the game; market should be oriented to trades and less adena when all items are very expensive and you are forced to buy adena from illegal sellers instead of getting some valuable rewards from events and people trade them for whatever they need. in my opinion, market based on trade would be more interesting if adena would be removed or replaced to something bound that could be used only for buy/sell things from npc's ONLY.
Stop crying already for adena for real, just get out of your instance and start farming. If there is an event farm it up as much as you can, sell the item for adena and with that adena buy whatever you need. In last event you could farm 60-80kk adena/h just slacking and you don't need gear at all, farming a bit you could easily get 200-300kk adena/day which is a lot for newcomers
