Level Syncing is Becoming an Increasing Problem

[Sandpark]

If getting to level 80 takes hundreds of hours and is considered a slog. How is getting all your abilities right out of the gate going to help that? Now instead of unlocking as you go, let's say you had every skill available at level 1 per job. While you are at it. Remove levels, remove level locks on quests, MSQ, trials, dungeons, raids,hunts, eureka, diadem, and crafting. Everything is available at level 1. Now there is no progression requirements to enter any content.

Oh wait, there is still ilevel. Maybe we should add a merit point system accessible at level 1 so players still feel like they are progressing. But wait, doesn't adding a merit system and having an ilevel system still gate players out of content? Was that not the whole point of making everything available at level 1? Hmmm, maybe to alleviate that we can also prune the MSQ, pruning it from hundreds of hours to 10 hours per expansion? We could also remove the caps on tomes while we are at it. Remove the cooldown on sprint, remove teleportation cost, have mounts available at level 1, and mount speed upgrades will take 1 10 minute quest per upgrade. Remove durability penalties, increase MGP rate to 50% increase. Omit TP and MP as well, now the only cost is cooldowns.

I am dramatizing a bit. But if all rights of passage get pruned or stripped. The game starts to go in a direction I cannot stay invested in like ESO or GW2. A game where because so much of it is accessible right out of the gate. I feel like beginning the game and 100hrs in is more of the same. I progress, but not really because everything scales to me. A level 1 zone and level 50 zone feel more or less the same just bigger numbers.
