First of all I agree with you that sometimes newbies around here are mistreated, most of the people on this forum try their hardest to act too serious, which is unnecessary but I guess it makes them feel better about themselves.
With that being said I don't think anyone is grinning at you or is happy to see your despair.
finally ! a proactive person that talking in same constructive language !
ugh... that's disturbing for sure -_- to make themselves better huh?
well... first, thanks for the sympathy & the support -- let's survive together bruh
and yeah
I still modding TES 4 Oblivion till this day and am enjoying it~
as for the signet gold vs STARTUP item please see below...

I am afraid you've got it wrong
just now I entered the game and testing it (I using MXL patch 1.3.1 btw)
Akara sells : Staff, Scepter, Wand
Charsi sells : sword 1H 2H, bow, spear, knife, club, axe 1H 2H
and since they get random Normal and Magic, the price is not always in range... also the requirements...
we must do unexpectedly annoying task by get-in get-out the game -- repeat, until the desired item appear
( THIS what I mean not newbie friendly, is newbie should be treated like that? I think brother Laz did that to compensate us newbie)
alright Druid can manage (Bow, Sword, Axe, Knife very easy to appear)
Sorcerer is hard to manage, only can manage staff and the requirement is variant, the orb and crystal sword is not available (I know them requirement is higher but still... you can downscale it just for startup item isn't it?)
Paladin SURE can manage melee weapon everywhere
Barbarian a bit hard to manage... Akara don't always sells Throwing axe, I can see the axe in my fifth try (get what I'm talking about?)
maybe I'm just get unlucky roll... but oh well... it's unexpectedly confusing for newbie
Necromancer hard to manage (scythe and crossbow should be scaled down for early test, not convenient if we must play a bit to test since not everybody have free time to play)
Assassin can only manage melee and knife, difficult on naginata (requirement should be scaled down -- item that exist only for startup)
Amazon half manage, stuck at requirement too...
NOTE : this is just a quick test, so I might be wrong in some above
that's it
I think is NOT efficient at all especially for BUSY newbie +wife +friends +works,
me got confused even tho I always play in vanilla & can manage just fine there
(please be tolerate several of you might call me stupid I'm sure...)
