One of the things about a virtual economy is that you get to mint your own currency. While not exploiting is slower than those who choose to exploit, there are still ways to make a lot of gold. I basically screw around all day in-game, and I usually have about 200,000-500,000 gold coming in before I blow it on whatever strikes me (today it was radiant square amethysts), or set it aside to save up for gear upgrades.
I'm obviously not a wealthy player, but without really trying I can still make up to half a million gold a day. If I actually focused on it, I could probably push that into the millions, per day. And if I wasn't such an impulse spender, I could save it up for the gear that would get me into act II. No one can stop me or anyone else from doing these things. Just because other people have more gold doesn't prevent you from finding a way to get as much as you want. And in the process of getting as much as you want, you might find drops that you can sell for a fairly good price on the AH.
