Scaling mechanics

[Valinis]

Your responses in this thread read as if you've never actually played a game that has done exactly what you are suggesting.

Which is to say, every game I know that has done this has resulted in essentially killing off the flow of new players to the game, dooming the game to a slow, irreversible decline.

Chances are the devs have already thought of this, and have more than enough foresight than to risk the very future of the game over mere convenience for veterans.

You mean like how GW2 did it? It had none of the problems you mention. That's just one example.
