yes its out of wack for sure.
its just not worth it anymore to throw. odd seeing as even small tribes seem to throw and we cant afford it in game.
just started playing the 2.01 but before the patch i was down to pesant gear shield and axe.
this game is not for the casual player anymore.
you have to grind a bit in no repair gear till you can have enough to use your good.
im a bit new to this game so the haves who put in all the time pre patch hording for this moment rap now and leave the rest in nothing.
there is almost no hope to get out of pesant gear now for some.
This is the most inaccurate thing I have seen posted. I started this game one week ago and it was a horrible grind to even get 1000 gold to afford 1/5 of the weapon I wanted. With this patch I have quickly gotten capable armor and a number of sweet weapons. In fact I would have been able to buy a plated charger by now if I didn't spend it all on a ton of other stuff. At any point that you are wearing less than 25k stuff, you are making enough money to build up a great treasury. I know it sucks for people who had played enough to be tincans, but as a peasant this patch is incredible and allows me to at least be competitive equipment-wise.
