What I find strange is how expensive are high tier weapons and armor. It's probably so player can't afford them early and has something to build up to.
I find it very disconnected from items of soldiers who carry this super expensive armors and weapons that only richest can afford.
This could be also one of the player gold income issue later in game, because he can sell these items he loots for a lot of gold.
Let's imagine prices are brought down and let say all items cost from 0 - 10 000 gold. What stops you from wearing the best armor and weapon you can find.
Well It could be locked behind a skill like horses and bows are. Armor could be tied to Athletics and weapons to their skill.
Or instead of hard-locking you could use items but with penalty, epecially armor could have speed penatly if you just want to use horse.
This is just idea, but once devs stabilize economy and player doesn't find himself swimming in gold, this could be something to think about also expensive items could be one of issues why player is so rich.
