Suggestion: Make Story fun for new players

Because it is about time and some things could be easily done:

1. Create a pool, of common low tier Unique items and GREATLY INCREASE their drop rates so new players can actually find some while leveling!
2. Have the bigger bosses drop a guaranteed Unique item out of the Common low tier pool.
3. Maybe have a second low tier pool for Act 6-10 so players still get new toys while advancing.
(no this wont impact the economy as those things are 1c trade after just a few nanoseconds into the new league.

4. Training wheels mode. This is permanently activated until you cleared a yellow or red map for the first time on this account. (have a warning pop up when you first start such map)
What this mode does is hand the player a Book of full respec for every Kitava killed (only works up to lvl 75) and consuming a orb or regret will give you 5 refund points.
(Yes, this seems powerful but it is tied to accounts without much progression)

5. Add a NPC which is a walking tutorial new player can ask ingame for hints. Like he explains them with examples how to scale damage of certain Gems and stuff, the importance of layered defenses and more.
