Adena is unsustainable.

Tell me about it!  They create a policy against RMT, but they leave many players no choice with unsustainable adena drop rates and quantity!  They increase "chat level requirements" to silence the farmers selling adena, but they keep their business flourishing, because players cannot afford and keep up with the cost of the grind.  No one farms at Varka and Ketra, because of how difficult the mobs are along with the terrible drop rates.  Adena should drop in elemental zones, because there isn't enough places to farm.  It's become so ridiculous, that players in the same clan or alliance are fighting each other for the same hunting areas.  The game has evolved into non-stop PKs for hunting spots, and then you have those high level players that run around and just PK (without consequence) other players for no reason at all.  New players have no chance to grow and develop their toons and are left at a huge disadvantage and just end up leaving and playing a private server.  This version of L2 does not attract enough new players, and when they come they end up quitting because they can't grow.  There is a great imbalance in the game right now.  Illegal third party software is not enforced, farmer bots all over the place and RMT is rampant, almost everything is P2W, every playable zone is saturated, and like you said you can't earn enough adena to keep up with your grinding.  On a good note, the GM's have been very professional and prompt when handling tickets, the community of players have been amazing except for a select few who run around and PK people all day using "Adrenaline" with their full party of support bots, the admins have been very responsive and communicative, and there have been some new updates that have made the game more interesting and appealing (new crafting system, L2 coin shop, revised augments, etc...).  I'm just patiently waiting for someone in NC Soft to step up and "sincerely" listen to their players that have been playing this game for more than a decade, and address all of these important issues.
