I just recently started a new account where I leveled up to 61 and made 2m+ without helping myself with gold/items from my main.
So in my opinion, everything is going well except a few things:
-The craft material slots are quite expensive for beginners.
-I think the Trading Permit should be removed since it's quite annoying and useless.
-After level 40, you stop recieving the chest that gives you items and potions every 10 levels, which makes it harder for you to advance - even more harder if you do not have the Trading Permit.
