If you had a hard start you probably shouldn't play cRPG to begin with. I began also recently only this year, and so fucking what? It was difficult yes, hard, you had to fight to earn things and when you earned them you felt really good.
I have 3 items loomed and they're only +1. New players get a kickstart and hand-guidance in an already pretty easy game. cRPG is really not as difficult as people think. Now they start at level 25. That's really enough of an advantage. I mean what the fuck. Who actually suffered so much? Pfft
