You can buy potions which speed up leveling, gaining notoriety with factions etc. you can buy even T1 raid gear from shop, but the best gear can only be obtained from drops in raids.
PvP here sucks, classes are not balanced, you can easily die in 2-3 seconds to some builds, defense against CC skills is almost non existent (break free every 50s with 3s immunity ..., with so many stuns, silences, snares, roots and other crap), then there is a stupid idea, which ruined pvp in almost every mmo I know of - pvp gear, which boosts your stats in pvp. Open world pvp sucks because you can just run into level 20 area with level 60 and slaughter everyone (I would like to see those guys doing this in Lineage ...), without any penalty or consequence. Then there are warfronts, either it is because of MM, lack of healing, premades or other reasons. Similar is the conquest, which is level 60 mass pvp, it lags like hell, due to the fact how rift engine is optimalized ...
But Rift is not a PvP game, its mostly about PvE and level 60 content is done very well.
