Personally I think that it is unfair for new players to come into a server filled with players who are already fully geared with 5 valiant hero teams and dominating the arena. Some say by having these imbalance, new players would be more inclined to PAY THEIR WAY through all the CBT-ers to get to where they are.
Imo, I see it more as a TURN OFF. Why? Because Im a player/gamer who emphasizes pvp aspects (especially in HP games). When I see that I have soooo much work /paywall ahead of me, It bothers me a shit-ton and it turns me off. Can I just walk away and play another game? Of course I can, and I might. Have many people already done so? Definitely.
CBT-ers who say they have spend money and lots of their time invested into the game would say... but thats not fair to us, wiping all our efforts. To this I say, let them play in THEIR OWN SERVERS. Where only cbt-ers are in that server, how does that sound? The fact that most CBT-ers would find this a no-no is because they just want to have that unfair advantage, that "lead" that most other players in the coming months/years do not have. (As well as the benefits).
Thoughts, anyone?
