One of the things I see complained about frequently by new players and veterans helping them alike is that to init your system, you must crack 20 T1 NPCs. This is because T1s drop a baseline of `A50``NK``BGC`. In my opinion, this amount comes from a much older time and has not evolved with the state of the game as it is today. When the total wealth amongst the playerbase was a few `JB``BGC` and there were only 2 tiers that could be consistently farmed (without hardline limits), it makes sense. Nowadays, we have troublesome locks at T1, which did not exist at launch, that often hard-lock a player out for a hardline (due to curloc), and a limited quantity of hardlines to boot. We also have a hard limit of 4 NPCs per hardline, which greatly decreases the rate at which veteran players can farm out low tiers of NPCs. This has made it far harder for newbs to get the `A1``LM``BGC` needed to reach tier 1 and start seriously scripting these tedious locks; as well as much harder for veterans to destroy tiers either accidentally or on purpose. My suggestion to fix this is to increase the baseline drop rate from `A50``NK``BGC` to `A100``NK``BGC` -- whether the maximum should be doubled from `A250``NK``BGC` to `A500``NK``BGC` or just be a tighter range is debatable. This would not impact the way veterans focus tiers anymore (especially as there is no need for vets to farm T1 in any serious quantity due to mixed upgrade tiers) and, I believe, would make a far more enjoyable experience for new players who find this GC gate frustrating.
