A better use for the store in the new tutorial

One of the things I noticed about the new tutorial was that it doesn't introduce enhancements. So, instead of having Numina sell us a free badge I think she should have us to buy a free enhancement (an Account Item so it can only be bought once - which will also double as teaching us about email!) If possible, claiming the enhancement could award the Knowledgeable badge.

The old tutorial gave a pair of damage training enhancements, but adding in an explanation about combining might be bit much in comparison to the pace of the rest of the new tutorial. So a single level 5 damage training enhancement would probably be simplest.

Anyone else think the store in the tutorial would be better if it actually gave your character something useful and taught you to use a feature other than (just) the store?

Not a bad idea, just one problem: You can't claim email until you're a certain level if I recall. Furthermore, I don't think freebies have access to email.

You can't send email until level 10, but claiming email works fine at any level (both Account/Character emails generated by the system, as well as player emails with attachments).

Even free players have a tier 1 Reward Token, which grants items that can only be claimed in email. I'm rather certain they're only unable to send, but can claim just fine.
