Not 'we'. You have a gold problem.
I have some new people on Au i play with.
Getting gold as a new person when mats are worthless is harder than before upgrades were a thing.
When lumps were 60k and eagles at 100k do you think that's good for new players?
Do people still call out mats in Ts? No, because it's like " ya i just looted my 400 bronze arrowhead"
Yes, it's good. Because when I started playing SHC was 450k and now 150k on AH. Bronze arrows were 600k and now 200k. And so on. It's much easier to get craftable entry-grade and housecraftable items now.
Only 1 thing for new player really need gold is hero class. But it's never was supposed to be easy and we all went that hard way, which is challenging and nice. Moreover there is an option to play hybrid for free.
And it's easy to sell materials nowadays because everyone buys them for upgrades, which is also good income source for new players.
I like how you list craftables with no gold sink so only greens and some blues. I've seen new people grind for 3 weeks to get almost a full blue set.
You also forget about the other gold sinks like respeces, making a house etc...
Saying the avg is green to light blue when if you list them all the midpoint in this game is dark blue as well. That's not even adding upgrades.
market place > green > light blue > light blue 1 hero > dark blue > dark blue 1 hero > orange > red > red 1 hero
Not adding again the avg player is not even a new player.
