Thought I posted this already, but I guess not.
Training is too expensive. You have to buy 5,000gold worth of the cheapest weapon or armor items before tier-1 becomes cost-equivalent
1k gold is 40 items which makes 800 points - 800 being the cost-equivalent line.
5k gold is 200 items which makes 4,000 points; 20% of 4,000 = 800.
It's all about getting the point-per-gold ratio to 0.8, since that is the cost-effectiveness of the cheapest weapons which are the most cost-effective items.
So, there it is. Now, this wouldn't be so bad by itself, but that's just tier1 and tier2 is one quarter as cost-effective (an additional 20% on top of the first 20%, but for 4,000gold instead of 1,000) so you need to have four times as many items in total before it becomes worth the money - or needing to spend 15,000gold more than the first 5k on 600 additional items to go with the first 200. Going from tier2 to tier3 is almost as bad a leap as it was from tier1 to tier2. And that's just weapons or armor, you can't mix them together for a combined point-total because Training affects offense and defense separately.
Cut the Training cost in half pls.
