I feel like it is very hard to collect any amounts of cash in this game. I like having to struggle, but this is getting to be ridiculous. If I hadn't made friends on this server I would be broke and item-less by this point. It's a great thing that people are generous but you can't put the future of the server on that. In my opinion there needs to be a decrease in the cost of blessings or some other type of adjustment. I am playing as a knight and it is nearly impossible to make any profit at all while hunting unless I get lucky. In the event I do make a bit of profit, only 1 death later and there goes 60k+ on blessings. I'm not crying or asking for an easy game, but I honestly feel this should be looked at. It may not be the same for everyone, but I have asked around and there are other people who agree.
p.s. I even loot all the gp when I'm hunting. I feel like looting gold is tedious for an OT. Takes a bit of the fun out when I have to worry about money THIS much

I have never bought a blessing on this server so far so I can't really make a comment about that, but I've never ever had a problem making cash on the server either. Tasks, quests and monster drops are high enough to have profit on most of the hunts I go on. Besides that, this server has been created for teamhunts as far as I have seen, and it's quite easy to find some people willing to hunt with you most of the time.
I think the OT is fine as it is at the moment, I have been making profit on any char I play.

I personally don't want to risk losing my hard earned items to a death, so I don't typically hunt without full bless. I've only died 4 times, and even gotten help with the cost of blessings on a couple of them. My bank balance is practically 0 gold. Maybe I am doing something wrong here but I have never had this much trouble with money on a server.

If blessings are too expensive.. don't buy them! They are more of a bonus to reduce the loss of exp/items! They aren't required to play =]

I know they aren't required but I don't like spending a bunch of time on this game only to have it all taken away with 1 death.

The above statement is very true, and one of the reasons I don't buy blessings.
Anyhow, I don't know what kind of equipment you are wearing, but you spend 60k+ on blessings every time (I don't know what they cost, I just took this number out of your first post). It doesn't seem worth it to me, the chance of losing 2+ equipment pieces is very low, and on the unlucky event of this happening, you can most likely retrieve it. I have never lost my loot, apart from some cleans just after I died that is, I have always been able to retrieve it. So either you hunt at very odd places where it's imppossible to get your loot back for some reason, or you wear equipment which of each piece is worth more than 60k.
Both of these things seem kind of unreasonable for me, so I don't really see the point in buying blessings in the first place. You don't REALLY need them, you are not obligated to buy them, therefore I think they are not too expensive.
I've been profitting on pretty much every hunt I've been on as a knight, given I didn't play like a complete retard in those hunts but actually managed my supplies pretty well.

The value of most of my equipment is priceless to me right now because if I lost it, I would have no way of getting another piece. Also things like blessed stake and obsidian knife that I don't want to lose because I can't easily replace them. I know that I CAN retrieve my loot if I die, but I have never had good luck with that in the past, so I don't do it, I buy blessings. Yes I can make profit on a lot of hunts, but what I'm saying is that all of my profit is gone with 1 little death.

Well that's pretty much the decision you'll have to make here, you either have cash but risk losing items, or you're pretty much broke but ensured that you don't lose any items. You're not supposed to get into some AND/AND situation as opposed to the AND/OR situation. Whenever it becomes AND/AND all the challenges are gone and this server becomes way too easy.
You don't have to bring all your items on every hunt, you'll have to figure out what to take and what not to take, and adjust the buying of blessings to that. Most complaints I see around here is the server being 'too hard' for some reason, while it's one of the easiest RPGs I've played thus far to be honest.

I'm not saying it is too hard. I like a lot of stuff about this server. I just think the cost of blessings could be reduced to make it a bit more fun for everyone.

I've bought blessings after each time I died ( about 6, once today for being semi-afk training) and I STILL have 200k :S 96 EK
