Draenin brings up many good points, all of which I agree with. Though the beginner tutorial has been improved, it still barely scratches the surface of all that there is to this game. It practically becomes an apprentice - mentor relationship for any new player that wants to succeed on GK.

In the early days of GK, everything was new to everyone. So exploration and testing things was all part of the fun. We were all noobs, and it didn't matter really. Everyone was on the same level, and had the same understanding. But now that a decade has gone by, people have mastered Graal Kingdoms like it's their craft. And new players are at a huge disadvantage.

Even if they did manage to get some sort of amazing item like a BoRD out of a chest-- the greedy people here always manage to snag it from their hands for a handful of garbage items that "appear" to be a good deal. (I've seen this done many times, even by the GP's here who are supposed to be a trusted authority)

Knowledge is power here. And as Draenin has already said, players want to know that being able to properly compete here isn't going to be an incredibly long feat-- which it will be.

I personally wouldn't care if my items became more commonplace (even the rarest of them) if I knew more players would play, or that new players would stay. But I know everyone's not on that side of the debate. As people have either slaved their way, or paid a pretty penny for nihils to get to where they are-- and it's unfortunate that that could be one of the reasons why we're forced to stay where we are.
