to me this is a retarded idea, but somehow it's not a surprise.
The third point wont be effected as much as you say it will be, this is ARR not 1.0, meaning quests, (ALL OF THEM) reward the player with all the gear they need, pretty much in ARR when you are leveling and doing the quests, all your gear from level 1-49 will come from quest rewards/instance you do on your leveling journey. So new players will get free gear/gil/xp from doing quests as they venture to level 50.
