Stash and CS only for lvl 5+ now?!

[Shazbolt]

CS and stash lock will prevent the existing newb farmers from getting the next best set from event since there's no trade (unless you open the locks yourself).

Most importantly though, locking up PvP rooms will be a definite move towards extinguishing dummy farming. It doesn't have to be a level requirement, it can be a PvE kills requirement like 10k. Anyone with that many kills is very likely to at least understand what skills do and how to combo them.

You may have missed the 3rd reason of Atomwiz, existing newbies' farmers won't need the next best set of gears against Green & Trash Geared "newbies" as you've mentioned. While PVE newbies upon reaching outpost will definitely be better off to be able to upgrade their gears before they venture into tombs or Ydra. They will need golds for pots too if Klaas or Shazbot wasn't kind enough.

As Axesam has mentioned, 1 hour or more, you maybe able reach level 15 as an example, so at which level will it be feasible to enable CS and Stash ?

IMHO, it will bring Arlor into greater depression, economy will be really horrible.
