    Completely agree that any NPC gear beyond level 10 is ridiculous overpriced.

    There are plenty of cheap lower lvl stuffs in AH. I mean with the way things are now, you can easily get to lvl 60s in a matter of days if you are casual, and get your artifact gears. Then pretty much after you hit that sweet spot in Abyssea, you can farm your gears from NMs and gradually buy AH gears from Voidwatch, Legion, Meeble, etc...

    But yeah - the game is not newbie friendly or easy to get into. You need a big amount of research to know what to do and where to do it.

    New players cant do this, think about the rate that they gain traverser stones... (being a returning player, this is the problem I am having) They need to adjust the traverser stone gain rate as well IMO

    They dont' need to increase the stone gain rate. You can increase it yourself by accomplishing abyssea tasks. That being said, they could do something to make getting those boosts to stones easier to obtain, or allow people to buy their way in like with the airship pass / audolin teleport.

    Once you've done those things, your stone supply is essentially limitless. I have over 2300 traverser stones, even though I visit abyssea on a regular basis.

    even with all 3 abyssites, its still slow. 30minutes per stone is by far not a lot of time. Think about it from a new player/returning player standpoint.

    New expac brings old players (who might not have had abyssea) and new players. They get in and start their stone timer. Even a week's worth wont get you far. Ever try farming boots from gold chests ? Seal farms don't exactly always drop what you need/want.

    Its not allowing new/returning players to get in on the action, there is only so much outdated content someone can do before they get bored.
