I wouldn't argue if we were given a choice on starting level. I mean if it defaults to starting at 50 then just let us gain skills as we would in PotD till we hit 50 then pick it up from there. No story or anything till we hit where its suppose to begin, makes everyone happy I'd think, then perhaps a step further (if possible) then new players who have HW+SB would be able to start on the new jobs as well from 1 (perhaps make it a pre-req to have a character at 50 before you can start there?) but warn them that Redmage or any other job released with SB has no story till level 50.
