Ran into the issue of leaving the first zone. Realized the base locations for the two factions early on are imbalanced significantly. Barter mechanic is interesting but lugging around old trash just to one day turn it into a somewhat useful armor or gun is quite tedious. I understand bartering but this game intentionally makes it so you must travel long distances on foot to multiple bases to barter your gear pieces at a time. This would not be problematic as a lower level if the areas were not camped by consistent 4 stack sweats that kill all players just to pick on newbies.

Really unfortunate newbies are struck with early game base imbalances and being unfairly killed by end-game players returning to low level zones like going to Stranglethorn Vale on your lvl 60 rogue. (WoW dudes get it) It sucks in a full loot game - atleast WoW's deaths have minimal punishment.
