I actually wanted no bonus realm, but it was greatly underpopulated so I had no choice but 7x realm.
As I level up, I felt great inconvenience in my economy. Well, you can't get enough gold because your level goes up too fast. You can't get enough quests before you level up. You can't train yourself or buy mount(not fast flying mounts, but normal mounts with 60%/100%. Yes. I even couldn't afford Journeyman riding) in current circumstance, without someone's help.
And I see those insect-like Chinese bot getting banned everyday. Why? Why do you ban them if you will leave us no choice except RMT? I can't learn new skills without someone giving me gold. I only did it from my guild members' help so far.
Add some features giving gold to players on certain level zone(by postal service or something like that). Give new players enough gold to learn skills and get mounts. For now, gold income can't afford x7 exp bonus.
+ AND gears. Quests are going grey before player clears it, and Dungeons are not popular leveling option. I had to use lv 10 quest dagger until lv 45.
Maybe you can provide heirlooms to new players for free.
