yeah, if you don't have friend for help it can be harsh
i did notice this change mostly because i'm leader of FC and i have a few new player that did joins in the last month. then i have not a lot of choice for the guild benefit recently
- reduce price for the tp
- reduce loose of durability

but i can fairly imagine how hard it is on new player all alone, my best advice (since i can't really help) it's to find a nice FC that can help
