Endless T1

What do you think about a potion or a macguffin macthing that locks you 1xp short of chicken and gives you endless T1 experience? Would this be good or bad for the game? I mean, I'd just love doing Festen whenever I feel like it, without any worries about leveling etc. But this could hurt the long term prospects of the game.

What do you think, devs especially?

i like the idea of debolster but the issue is that you just get a bunch of twinked out dps healers mincing around and providing a horrible welcoming experience for any new players

Oi, didn't even think about the NPE. I was more concerned about later parts of the game being deserted because everyone's zerging Festen. I mean, can't blame me, can you? It's quite possibly the best part of the game(next to IP).

T1 would become plagued with twink 15s stomping on anyone legitimately trying to level up. All the non twinks will just xp to 16, leaving no one to fight.

I have done a 2/3 effort of twinking a character, and it was silly how many I could kill with no effort using all blue talismans and influence gear. Someone will take the time to craft all purple talismans, buy out the AH best items, and run armor pots. And they will buzz saw through lowbies.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

If I remember correctly they did that in live towards the end. If you didn't want to pay for a subscription you could play for free in T1. It was meant to bring in new players but it was terrible with all the twink players. I think it hurt more then it helped with getting new players playing.

Horrible idea. Twinks are bad for low level and new player experience, one of the things I hate about games like WoW.

It's like the greatest hits of bad ideas.

its a good idea, just bad because healers are so OP in T1. Maybe make a 1 chance twink. Lvl 7 - Bolster to 12.

I don't mind rerolling, I'm on my 2nd WE and 3rd shaman. So yeah, just reroll and enjoy T1 all you like. Heck, cheat and with your main get all the low level tali shards you can so your latest and greatest lil'n can have the best talisman.

Terrible idea since with purple talis, staying at level 8-9, getting the best items and so on you'll probably have three times the stats of normal players. Pick something like a Chosen/KOTBS or WP/DOK and you will seriously be able to 1vs5 normal players, which is not exactly nice for new players.
