You're 99.99% right Ryuuku, there will (hopefully) always be new people coming or older players returning and it isn't fair to everyone else to stop any progress.
But in some areas of the shard you can introduce fixes that are scripted and don't revolve around a quest or GMed craft skills. I know you have at least blacksmithing GMed so maybe that's why you don't mind the idea as much, because as it is today you're set up to make money off this new craftable (if that's how it's implemented).
I'm not sure how you figure 50k is easy for a new player to make. Think it through how long you have to macro so you have decent skill levels before you go out and hunt, or how long it takes you to gather resources with your harvesting skills starting at zero (it took me 5 hours last night to get 2k iron with my mining already at 75).
I think if you start from SCRATCH, without 1gp or 1 ingot of help from another player or another one of your characters you will see just how long it takes to get to a position where you can make some decent cash. Then tell me if you think it's fast to get 50k as a new player considering all the other stuff they have to do.
If you're a former INR player you got 60% harvesting and 100% crafting transfers. No wonder you aren't complaining about the time it takes to make money or the fact it will require GMed crafting skills. Hell if it required 3 GMed combats I wouldn't complain because I got 80% transfers there!
It's all relative and for a new guy he gets nothing so that's even harder then for a former XUO player who got 70% harvesting and 40% crafting.
Besides, if it's scripted in for a weight change it's not like you're losing out on something, you just don't have yet another way to make money on top of all the ones you already have.
I ask the staff to please consider what I'm saying and that we need to try and be fair to everyone, and make other people happy who don't want to see every new feature in the form of a quest.
