War crest wrong conversion after currency patch

[Malus123]

Sadly, i don't think things will ever change.
The game is just too fixated on empowering geared max level characters rather than highlighting new players coming in and growing the population.
And any form of conversation that brings up making things easier is seen as "catering to casuals" and that we need to "git gud" or "go back to WoW"...

As you precisely put it, the game is forcing people away who would rather spend what little time they have else where.
the Elitst Max level players need to realize that if they want their population to grow; if they want MORE enemies to fight.... then the game needs to be more accessible to allowing fresh 40s to easily get geared so they can fight on a competitive edge with them, and not just be useless fodder.
but i don't think thats what they want; they just want the feeling of steamrolling "newbs".
Which i understand, but at a certain point the systems in place of the game are the reason why this games population has been what it is for so long and never grows.
on top of that, the game is old, and a private server of a dead game that was already clunky to begin with.

New Players are not gonna flock to a dead 15 year old game using a clunky dx9 engine especially when the game treats them like fodder, expects them to grind months and doesn't respect their free time.

The old currency was just flawed due to 1:5 down conversion. The transition was not optimal but converting lower tier currency would have allowed to rig the system. Currency gain is faster now, it's just a hard hit, if people were in t2-3, when it happened.
Especially as a rather new player it might be even advisable to reroll and send all money and BoE gear to new char. Starting t1 with gold to buy talismans and a lot more experience will be faster than the first time and those players will perform better, as they are not totally fresh
