Question about server economies

[Eponin]

I have tried a couple of servers in the last few days and I've found out that those that offer a 4x or 5x experience bonus and epic weapons at the beginning do not fit my playstyle. I was considering playing on PEQ or P99 but before I do I would like to know how the economy works in them.
When I played EQ (Left around the LDoN beginning), as a new player I would gather tradeskills items like silks, morning dew, etc and sell in bazaar to tradeskillers for money for my spells and armor. Is the economy on these servers strong enough to allow someone starting from 0?
Also, when I left it was in frustration because all the wait it took to spawn one mob for a quest (2 weeks waiting for Raster for the monk epic). Are spawn or drop times improved over old EQ, or should I expect the same on theese servers?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
