A lot of people hate the current system and would prefer to stay in 16-39 forever to not having to grind their way up. My suggestion wasn't illogical at all. If 16-39 is more fun than fresh 40 experience it is logical to
- Improve fresh 40s experience
- give players the possibility to stay forever in 16-39 bracket
It would also be only my personal interest if I only wanted it for myself and nobody else, but as I said I want a general option for everybody who also enjoys 16-39 more than 40 SCs.
You should really analyze not only data about balancing issues but also about why players leave the game or prefer to start new characters all the time instead of continuing playing their level 40 chars.
In other games reaching max level is something to look forward to, in this game it is something to delay as much as you can, seems a little bit flawed, doesn't it?
