I like the idea, I have to say, although it would be an impossibility.
Or, as an alternative people fail to see, let everyone keep their abilities and from now on, make them quested or drops or bought. This way, any new abilities will need to be worked for in the future and any new players from now on will have to work for it. Now, this may sound unfair because it means any R50 people right now will have not worked for it and anyone else from now on will have to work for it. That's just something that people will have to live with though.

Just so you know it's not just for my benefit that this system should be in place, I have no R50s and I don't have any mage jobs levelled yet, but I will in the future, and I'd be happy to do it.
