While I agree and like the new system you’re proposing, I know a lot of people this season could say that there is no excuse except for laziness that you can’t grind out honor, conquest, and rating to upgrade you’re gear currently.
I feel like if they should just scale to max from the start (No excuses any more and a even competitive floor for everyone) and they could come up with something competitive but not game breaking for the 1-30lvls that is account-wide like you’re saying.
