You know, I had this same problem in Diablo 2 - there's just nothing to buy after you beat the game on normal. However, *it meant the freedom to playing without having to return to base to sell equipment of value all the time. At first it took some getting used to, as I was so habituated to picking things up etc., actually forcing myself just to leave things on the ground took some work.
The one difference in that game, however, is that it wasn't public (at least while I play on my home computer). The public aspect of ,this game invites a lot of possibilities for help and ways to distribute your money etc. I had a friend start me off with 10 gp, and it *really* helped - so nice to have a spare slot bag, for example!
Another friend soon afterward gave me 150... the big highlight was getting a set of nice bags, really. Just like Diablo's Horadric cube - so helpful, and soon the game was fun (there's a stress when one has no money for several needed things, isn't there?)
It must be mentioned following though not spending takes discipline, and my desire to get the edge in the PvPs had me spend away the money I had hard saved for my mount on some pretty equipment... ha ha ha - at least I stopped getting so oWned)
Another game that I really enjoyed addressed this very situation by having just a handful of things involving individual players buying a castle... and then things that one could buy for the castle... ha ha - imagine the cost of a castle compared to a mount in real life... so imagine the possibilities WoW could implement just for people like you! ;)
