I can't even.. this is the worst suggestion ever. The time spent by people is far more precious than the equality you were asking. People invested a lot. People sacrificed some time to play. Old players kept an eye on everything. And you think that it's better for the newcomers to have this kind of benefit? I don't think so. In real world, you don't even have this. Face it, if you're late, it's your responsibility. Let the people keep what they earned hard.
I'm actually a newcomer. I started out late August but i really think that this is wayyy tooo unfair.
