If it takes more than ten minutes to kill a skeleton, christ. You can kill a player faster than that.

Lowering monster loot won't be worth it and from what I've seen, they're fine, economically.

I've seen people in GM crafted armor already. Not many can buy it right now. Not many won't. So..again...*DEEP BREATH*:

To properly start off the economy, if that's what you REAAAAAAAAAAALLY want, lowering monster loot will not affect it as greatly as having 3rd day blood rock or golden armor tossed about left and right. By the time we would GM the smithy, the influx of products would lower the price of more valuable armors, which inevitably would raise my opportunity cost, so..I'd be forced to just make it for myself, never sell, and just gank, gank, gank, gank naked. I mean, honestly.

If you can't see that taking an hour to kill a dragon or ten minutes or even more to kill a skeleton, you're not helping the economy because you actually need a means of competing.

To properly compete and have no outlet to get started just a LITTLE faster: it's like trying to sell sperm in a whore house. By the time these kids get their crafts up.

If we can't hunt, we can't buy from you guys. ;/ You'll probably horde them all anyway.

Uhh. In the long run everyone will be hoarding armors, including you. Sure, you are frustrated for not having the starter skills of imported characters, but in a month or two it will fade. Or the complainers leave. Both ways, things will normalize. But just because some people can start making the armors now doesn't mean noone will EVER need armor again. You bought a pant, that means you'll NEVER buy one again? Armor gets damaged, sometimes destroyed, sometimes decayed on corpses, also new players who come later on will also need to buy armor. On IN1 half the shard was gm smith, and people still been buying armors, even 4 years in to the shard's lifetime. Since there aren't any powerscrolls here, everyone has the same chance to reach the same 100% skill limit sooner or later and it's not like the current "vets" with thier transferred characters will form mobs to find and murder every single "newbie" character trying to max out skills.
