As soon as you start a new game you can make about 4k gold and go gather a bunch of companions. Then you brainlessly travel to every single village and town just to meet the elder and guild master for 150/300 xp (+bonus from int). This brainless and skill-less task early game can propel you past the humble struggle stage that you are meant to experience... and its right there for you to do so why not.. This needs to be removed.
