Not by design, while wealthy players can purchase tradeable cosmetics and sell them for massive sums of gold, which in turn can be used to buy high-end gear, this is impractical, especially as achieving endgame yourself grants access to a near-constant stream of gold which can be used to purchase not only endgame gear but the aforementioned cosmetics. What's even worse, is that there are 2 (!) Close.
