Free to play players also can improve themselves without money. Only it takes long time to achieve that. If you are free to play players, I advise you to pick a class that can bring you far without heavy amped equipment. For me that class is beastmaster for sentinels side. You can solo most thing from lab, town 3 and 4 of Ayvondil, once you get level 27 equipment and few expert skills with only low amped. However new players tend to don't know about this, and struggle by picking a class that need constant life steal stats, minion etc, ended up they die a lot doing daily quest, with low damage and heavy hit from monster. Beastmaster is damage, can heal and have tank. Healer is not recommended, you will just spend most your time healing than doing damage to monster. Pick it as your first class if you f2p, so you can easy farm gold and later on you can then create the class you really want to play.
 
Earning gold is sure hard for f2p players. This game is not f2p friendly. It took most of my time to get gold too, weeks and months to finally "play the game". I don't involve with arena and have arena equipments yet, pvp side also another struggle, for now I just focus on my pve. If I wanted to have fun in pvp, I will just play fast paced moba games and spend zero money. Had to create multiple class to just finding some gold to buy equip and expert skills. I spent my time crying too for someone to carry me to do daily lab, but once I reach level 27, it become a bit easier for me.
 
To your third point, it is true. Doing dungeons in this game is not so rewarding. It base on luck. So you can run 1 dungeon and get drop, or do thousands run and get nothing. Low chance of drops, not even fragments exist in this game, or there are dungeon points to be exchanged for equips, would be better for those who spam dungeon and don't get anything. For example, currently, players can exchange arena points and crimson corundom for equips, why not make the same for dungeons. That is why, I don't do much dungeon, I just buy equip from market, so my time playing this game are mostly me doing daily quest and grind gold and repeat rather than playing its content. Yeah it is meh and no fun. Wanted to become pve only player, but that side also meh considering dungeon the only way you get good equips and low drop chance and all. It’s becoming repetitive for me for sure and decide to drop the game at times. And don't mention about knowledge, haven't unlock any main talent, I hope I get it before spring. Just have to do it slow.
 
So yeah, gold that I get doing all that, I manage to create other class as well with decent equip only to feel the depth of that class. The endgame basically the same long run. So yeah, you can do anything, without spending a cent on this game. You only need time. Lots of it, but I can assure you it can be boring at times as you need months to be comfortable at playing.

Yeah. Mine already have decent equips. Just lack of talent and some amped. T5 and Almahad really challenging to do, its good. Though I don't play those areas any often, you basically can reach max level without them anyway, maybe later, or when it become a requirement to go to next new part of the island or something.

I don't think its a good idea. None of new players coming anymore, only few I've seen asking for guide or help in chat, anything about chainless league or hard quest in general, only people that would go new server gonna be old players. I would love to join new server, pick legion side this time, a universal server would be fun but that also mean old server will be dead than it already is. So what's the point.
 
Plus, since talent update came to the game, and knowledge point that takes too damn long time to get, I'll pass. People would do the same daily thing anyway after few days it open, just like old server, do the daily quest, farming gold, dungeon etc.
 
Instead of normal new server, why not open a server where there are no amplification system exist, just like the old time. Would be fun, healers needed and all, truly adventure doing dungeon and fight bosses. I wish.

My advice just focus on leveling up with the help of 3 free minions given for new players. Save your gold. When you go to island 2 Irselnort, it is recommended to use defend minion (unique state, not common) buy them at market, so it can help you kill all boss easy as they will tank them all (or you can cry at world chat and ask for help your choice). After complete island 2,  next is island 3 Ayvondil, you should be level 18 by now, use your gold to buy weapon only because you can still walk thru mobs even with your level 10 equipments, again use minion to help you, preferably support heal type.  Should be easy until you reach town 3 Ayvondil. 

True, it is sad. Even though legion side is getting better and better with their skills and talents each update which is more superior than sentinels, it doesn't seems to help luring sentinels to play legion side. Building your characters takes time. Maxing them level and amp your equipments, farming gold. Triple the time if you are f2p players. 
 
Only suggestion I want to make is make the expert skills cheaper or free and also make teleportation totally free, but sure only after you completed certain quest or achieved certain level or through talents I don't care.  With this it helps newbie a lot and high level players can easily help them out without walking miles. Especially reaching lab entrance. Warspear map is huge, really huge, no ones wants to walk them miles without using teleport scrolls. 
 
Playing in legion side is just sad till today. Legion population always been so low, only few active in doing dungeon and all that things which it does impact the market. You can see this from in games rating. Top guild points making, top dungeon, sentinels dominates that resulting more items sales in market. From that alone you know which side you need to play for your own comfortablity in finding items and also helps. 
 
New players been given daily gift, exp potion does helps them level up to level 20 in one day, but that also means you running doing quest and go to Ayvondil with crap level 8/10 gears from map 1 quest reward and with only 5 base skills. So you starting doing only lab daily for weeks to get that 40k gold to buy your first expert skill. Only if you lucky to get party doing lab. Nowadays people don't do lab to help newbies which makes it even harder, which now you only rely gold from normal daily quest. Expert skills should be free nowadays or reduce their price to only 10k. Some class only get comfortable to play with their expert skills on. Grinding gold for your expert is one story, grinding gold for your equipments, runes, crystal is another nightmare.  Sure it takes time. Lots of time. But you can achieve that nonetheless. 
 
Thats my story when I try to play legion side as f2p players because I know I can achieve everything eventually, however considering the same way legion state overall for ages now, I just stay on sentinels side. In the end, most of their skills are similar kind of way anyway, only different it is put on different class but it works the same. Class that are lacking in legion side already here, like chieftain, and for sentinels, templar. So in a situation where sentinels vs sentinels guild like in US Sapphire server, it is totally fine. I don't know if I should be happy about that though.

i was hoping for the changes of healer class in game, or monster damage as a whole so healer can be of a use more better starting this Christmas event, and nerf on vampirism paramater atleast, but nothing of that in this update. DD class get even self heal throwing healer yet again to the side. well see you next year Christmas for another so called wide-scale rebalance.

most of your suggestion can be found on other class already. Why don't you try that class Reaper. That class wear heavy armor (less damage received) also have skill that absorb damage up to 80%. Have skills that buff attack strength + penetration, critical hit + attack speed, even buff skill damage and resistance to debuff crowd control. Also a skill with crit damage that cannot be avoided. Only hate need rework. That class has everything you wanted.
