Hail Longhunter,
Only a handfull of my characters have items I traded for: they found the bulk of their items themselves. I've got a purist Guardian and about five - I think - Patriarch/Matriarchs. It's not that difficult really: it's simply that people who do not know any better have built up this perception that if you do not play with the best items in the game, and get them immediately, then it is impossible to play! Well pfft to that idea: the day I listen to normal opinions on builds is the day I quit the game for good :P
Now, there are far harder ways to play than merely purist. Try not using anything that drops, or even more difficult... play LoL! *shudders* I've never got a LoL past early Nightmare - it's just sooo difficult!

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
