My mage is now 73 (and never getting higher =D) and all I've ever gotten from the cs were crit suits and that was for the suits, not for the crits, and premium houses. No extenders, no def menian sets, no exp boost (okay I did and it went to waste cos I got hacked >.>).
You seem to compare this game to other games too much. This is a different game. Most classes don't get very far when soloing (exception are always there of course). Party up, make friends and have fun. That's what an MMORPG should be about imho, but unfortunately not a lot of people seem to share that idea.
