Now the thread is moving along nicely :p Much thx to everyone who hasn't shit themselves at me!
Smurtle pretty much hits the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned:
Yep, the new players will be slaves to the vets craftwise for a long time, rich get richer, poor get poorer type of thing.
Skorpion you bring up some fine points as well.
You're right, magery should not be easy to GM, and yes it is easy to macro. I cannot say for certain if my standpoint is because of the fact that I am frustrated that I can't start bangin the most important pvp skill out yet grr
In regards to my spell book being newbied, I asked a staff member (cannot remember which), if my book was indeed newbied. He asked me If I was GM Magery, and I replied no. He replied "Then it aint newbied". So if he was wrong, I am happier.

By then, it may not even be worth it to sell the armors, so in the long run, aside from making my personal affects, why bother with a craft? I think combats should have been transfered, not crafts.

It is fairly easy to macro unattended, as you said the only issue is gold and time. I think after a week of playing gold is alot easier to get. The first week is always the hardest.
Many of your complaints hinge on not having a newbied spellbook. While I'm sure you are partly just using this as an example, I'd like to address that. When you start your character's spellbook should be newbied, if its not that should be fixed. All spellbooks unless looted from a monster should be newbied. Full spellbooks created by scribes should be newbied as well, again if they are not I agree that should be fixed. This way as you hunt and collect spells they stay with you. That is how it should be and how it was intended.
