I have never played an MMORPG before, but you're saying new players will start right at the beginning, and have to progress through EVERYTHING to have a chance at doing any current end game content? I find that extremely difficult to believe. No new players will stay if they know they're years behind everybody else. There has to be some kind of catch up system. I agree that vets should have their time respected, but a new player isn't going to be convinced to stay if they're starting right at the beginning. I guess its not too bad for Destiny, since this is a relatively young game. Anything that is 2+ years old is going to struggle to attract new players if they're too far away from everybody else. The game will die without new players, and I don't see how you attract them by making the entry requirements to play any new content so high.
