Just did a climb yesterday... and running in black is boring but was what we ended up doing at the top levesl.
We didn'T even bother remaking at 55 cause it was not worth the hassle of maybe having a small chance of perhaps finding nmnm.
There is no benefit now in exploring.... we did it for a while cause I nicely asked to, but I'm pretty sure others would have prefered a faster black run

It's not just players who make the game fun for new players.
The way the game is now, I fail to see the fun of it.
You can't ask a new player to invest fg in a game he is not even sure he will want to play next week.
Skilling? For those who can do it, is extremely time consuming to get the a respected level.
Most old players were lucky to have items that were self welled or muted as current gear.
New players can't rely on this to gear themselves, and as far as welling is concerned, no one wants to stop in the middle of a run for a well.
Good luck finding one at 71.
If only there was a well in town, new players could grab all the whites they want and get a chance in the well without other people getting impatient at them.
