I know that very few people walk through every act and quest, most of us prefer to rush as quickly as possible, but people do exist who want to enjoy the game in this way.

To help people who walk through the game with the advanced difficulty and encourage spending Gold early on, I think there should be better items sold in the gear merchants in every act.

If the vendors could sell a bit stronger items, meant for higher levels, it would be more enjoyable progression when walking through the game and more people would spend gold on them for starter items.

Does anyone else have other ideas to help encourage walking?
