New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[NanaWiloh]

I'm a little confused by this statement. Atm due to running an overbloated msq players speed through levels especially if they are on a preferred world. Cutting it down would slow you down, but as is you're only running a dungeon once, maybe twice if you're unlucky and out leveling your gear quickly. A way to fix this when removing the msq bloat would be to add gear or merely make a point to have a quest that shows you where to buy from vendors in the city states. That gear is cheap and you don't need hq to do arr.



Tokyo fanfest, I believe is where it was said. If it wasn't there then it was at Paris fanfest

gearing is as easy as running dungeons. You get better than crafted gear, with the 100% buff you might run it 3 to 4 times before moving on. You can also craft things. Pretty much how people level second jobs.

I was refering to end game gear, leveling gear goes fast. New players are also not going to be close to crafting end game crafted gear after reaching cap. As a Omni crafter I can honestly say forget crafting HQ end game gear beyond a certain point if you only level one crafter as you will be relying heavily upon luck. If a new player joins the game hits 80 in shadowbringers 6 months after release their going to get a rude awakening that without crafted or mb bought gear their going to be running dungeons for a couple weeks easy to catch up. Tomes as always will start with a weekly cap of 450 until lifted they will need tome or end game crafted gear just to enter the first 8 and 24 man raids.

There is a reason wow started dropping high end gear on people the way they are doing now. Players got tired of running dungeon after dungeon after dungeon as a way to catch up.
