Such a method would bypass the WoW syndrome where the very first quest reward you get is such a blatant upgrade to the highest possible gear from the previous game that you feel cheated.

Hell, in WoD, they scaled it back so much that SoO loot will be worth using over quest/dungeon rewards all the way to 95~96 (of the new 100 cap) when stuff starts inching higher in ilvl, but the stat spread wont be as optimal as your existing gear

The idea of replacing your hard won raiding gear with quest whites is kind f abhorrent.
