So when I first logged in on my transfered character (retail transfered) I was granted 6500 gold and 600 emblems of heroism. The issue, however, is that I found myself in problems almost immediately. What I first did was go train by the riding trainer to unlock flying and cold weather flying, which resulted with me only having 194 gold. That is when I came to realize that I wouldn't afford my class training costs nor afford to purchase a ground and flying mount. So I contacted a GM and was assisted with information that it wasn't intended for me to purchase artisan riding.
I later went to the emblem vendors and with emblems of heroism, I wouldn't be able to purchase equipment that would cover all my slots, which immediately removed the possibility for me to buy tanking gear (which was something I intended to be). I ended up deciding to just purchase basic DPS gear with a mixture of PvE, PvP and heirlooms; which still didn't cover all my slots.
So for the improvements...
- 1. Players should be granted rare questing/crafted gear ranging from 79-80. I mean it should already be in the bags;
2. Already pre-learned riding skills;
3. Around 1000-1200 gold just for the sake of class training. And some extra to purchase glyphs, gems and enchants;
4. pre-learned dual wield talent specialization;
5. Northrend fully explored.
I think these improvements would've done it for me. I am no quitter, so I don't expect these to now be granted to me if this should be implemented. I am currently leveling a death knight and making my transfered a ore and herb gatherer, so I am all good.
I hope for some GM response or member discussion perhaps! Cheers.
