Your post reads more like how do I gear up? than if the economy is broken. I was wondering the same, as I just came back to CoH recently upon hearing the news about them getting the license. Here is the information I found to be the most legitimately helpful. Don't sweat enhancements until you reach level 22. At that point, sell off your orange and yellow salvage/recipes. Barring incredibly bad luck, you will by that point have enough to get 1 or 2 million influence. Now go to the University, and craft level 25 IOs for all your powers. These match the value of SO's and do not diminish as you level. This strategy can last you all the way to level 50. Once you hit 50, you should have alot more salvage and recipes to sell, do so, and replace all your 25 IOs with level 50 IOs, and you are well positioned to start working on getting sets and Incarnates. All pretty easy to do with just IOs. If you are more into using AE instead, then when you run those missions get AE tickets instead of regular rewards, and every 540 tickets, you can buy orange salvage, this is 300-350k per on the AH, and can easily fund your IOs as well. Good luck.

Webslinging. Of all the amazing movement powers, webslinging I think would be a really fun addition.
