It's hard to say as a new player, but I think there are a lot of unnecessary dificulties we need to deal with.
For example, I think the amount of slots on inventory could be a bit higher. Now, you need something like 10 days of voting to upgrade it. For a new player, you will end up not getting items on the floor, or you will skip quests that would give you an item to deliver somewhere. And c'mon this wouldn't be broken if you add.
Other example: you can't open a hired merchant when you start. I don't know which conditions, but I think it's lv16 or one week old account.
Another thing is th fact you can't buy your own potions depending on the job you start. This is like non sense imo. Maybe would be good to increase meso/h gains to a lv15, and make quests more rewardful (lv20 scroll quest maybe).
