Something to consider

[Mythocrisis]

Hey I also thought about adding a gameplay feature at the lowest levels where there is an npc which talks about trading and just talks about all the cool items that this game has and says check it out and then also goes u a favour to experience.
The favour is they can select anything from a set of preexisting vanity(since gear wouldn't scale to low level) and it will be on them...for one map clearance.
And at the end of the map with whatever hear and vanity they equipped , u say to access this feature can be unlocked by 30 story tokens and show that vendor.

I say this to make it interactive as new players do not know the awesomeness of the auction house and are not even obliged to check it out before they think they have had enough of the game.

These are just ideas.it will be better if u guys add ur own thoughts than rating them.these are just things I thought good or bad.the more we have, the easier is for them to choose.
