current drop and start of new players

[shado]

Given the current drop rate and additional item drop stats, I suggest removing rare and unique items from the game because they quickly become invisible. As for beginner players, make them level 5 elite and give them 1 LT, or give them a starting level 1 weapon with some damage to make it easier for them to get started, and for a month, a true poison set.

True poison set at lvl 1 & HH at lvl 100 (so they can do both early + HH easily) : Good idea

Removing rare/unique items not sure, because it's still a source of gold (even if not such an oustanding amount) for them early..

Giving them more access to Lucky Tickets (regardless of the way) could be a smart idea. At the moment LT's mostly are accessible for people who do BG bosses (too hard for early players) & tesseris (same).. That would probably also help them getting items without having to pay too much from very bad items in AH.

Mostly interesting suggestions, worth thinking about some improvements.

EDIT: But in any case, it would need to be monitored to avoid any kind of abuse. Maybe make the LT's bound on account (those specific "low level friendly" LT's).. or some stuff like that. Because else, we can already foresee it being abused by some players..

Completely agree

For the LTs we could make them bound and event so untradeable

The method to obtain Lucky Tickets isn't difficult - a synthesis mechanism has already been designed for new players to craft them, so no changes are needed!

It is difficult. Starting players aren't as equipped as your farming chars and can't collect thousands of archondrites nor billions of gold to craft lucky tickets, and that's precisely why we suggest an easier access to some specific low-level designed lucky tickets for these players (a bit like the free lucky ticket given in eternal battlefield start) so they can at least get an interesting weapon or piece or armor.
That would definitely be new-comer friendly. But of course the tickets they get themselves should be bound and event, else the method would be abused by the same ever players and ruin the server's economy more than they already did 

I wouldn't be impacted by that change, and none of us "endgame" players would be impacted at any point bu that.
It's all about thinking outside the box and trying to make the server a better place for everybody, and not only people who have played here for years.

It need to be a method which supports new/returning player, but not been worth for current players to abuse it.

nice and serious topic.
+1 for the topic from my side

i aggree on this new/returning player have it hard and should be helped with a starting gear to be able to accumulate some gold for eclipse and not to use their archondrites from the start .

+1 from me too
