I'm hoping that the restructuring is good for newer players. Having played an alt account, the gear crunch for new players is far worse.
I like some of the ideas mentioned above. But here are some of mine.
1. Reduce the price of shards in stores to 200 in the less used stores. This let's newer players b eff able to use the shard shop sooner and eases the gear crunch at all levels.
2. Add tiers to challenges. But make them beatable by players shortly after lvl 85 (not requiring relics). This could help everyone.
3. Reduce the price of shards in the get store. This helps new players get to the point where they can use it for shards sooner.
4. The marque guide to let people do marques they may have missed. (Kyno mentioned this but I have brought it up before).
5. Adjust the drop rates/prices for pre g13 gear. You can also adjust the amount needed for relic slicing to keep it from being to quick to relic characters to quickly. (This was mentioned before so not my original idea).
