How much easier does it have to be? Sure, I have the knowledge of what to do, but I did G1-G4 without problems a few weeks ago on a new character. There are three ??? you can hit for G1 if you don't want to kill mobs for the drops. NM's for G2 don't have to be killed, and they lost aggro on me as I got near the exit to the cave. G3 is learning how to snk/inv and fumbling for a warp scroll if you aggro the NM after clicking the right spot. G4 is even faster now with HP crystal warping. Only reason I haven't fought Maat yet is because breaking it as BLU requires the stupid soulflayer to finish the AF.

As a new character, I've hit Rank 5, won the Mammet fight for CoP, gotten all staging points, completed G1-4, and gotten 4/5 BLU AF pieces. This has all been done solo with the help of trusts (of which I have the 3 starter ones, Nanaa Mihgo, and some log-in point ones), with the single exception of asking a friend to open the 3 mage gate for me. Yes, I have years of game knowledge, but the wiki can tell you 99% of what you need to know. I'm not seeing any roadblocks for new players on the road of 1-70 so far.
