Week 1 leveling feedback

    I put the word "leveling" in there because this isn't "PL'd to 50 exploiting the disco dance" feedback, it's actual leveling-through-the-tiers feedback.

    1.) The L50 exploiters have whacked out the broker something fierce. They apparently make a lot more money doing end game questing and raiding, and even t2 and t3 spell, skill and gear prices have skyrocketed in response. Where they think a leveling player one week in can get 65 gold for one t3 recipe or Adept, 1 plat or more to pay for one gear item, or 5 plat for one Master is beyond me. We can hardly muster 76 silver for a t3 basic vendor recipe to even do rush orders with.

    2.) The NPC crafting trainer with the Advanced Recipes quest lines for Butcherblock T3 and Steamfont T4 (both zones not added til EoF) really need to be put into the game. Alternatively, T3 and T4 advanced recipe drops need a much higher drop rate. It's miserable to get them right now, even grinding for days, and Journeymans don't even cut it for mobs, never mind PvP.

    There's a whole game here, not just a Battleground, and we're not equipped to play it because of Station Cash Shop XP pot antics.

    3.) A working instant-betrayal-while-keeping-your-class NPC needs to be put on both factions. Qeynos as usual is really underpopulated, because Shadowknights and Necromancers are only Freep-side. Being able to instantly change your class and stay on your current faction's side would even factional populations out. This is more important than ever now that we're stuck with FFA PvP where practically no one leaves home, and the L50 XP pot exploiters took themselves completely out of the leveling population the first day of launch.

    (However, no one would want to waste that kind of time betraying from Freep to Q doing the quest timeline anyway, with Nagafen wiping in 11 more weeks, which is why we need the instant betrayal NPC. And the betrayal tokens on live force you to change your class if you switch sides, so they'd be no help here on Nagafen--unless the betrayal tokens could be fixed.)
