Path to Awakening.....

How about when you create a new character, you 1st talk to the NPC (can't remember his name in the Temple on TI)....and you choose your path right there as to if you are going to take the PTA (fast lvl'ing to 85), or the old school route. If you take the PTA route, your xp is higher per mob...you can take the high xp quests...get a fated support box...and you'll be 85 lickety split. But if you take the "old school route" (name it what you want) you get standard xp...nothing free...not eligible for the high xp quests. It seems to me that this could be added in relatively easily (I'm no programmer), and imagine how many people would be happy? I'd do it. It'd be completely up to the player...nothing they have to do, just an option to leveling up a character other than the fast route. Might even save a few players from leaving the servers. ... And yeah yeah I know...adena... "I can't afford gear, with these crap drops".... well all gear is cheap as sh** below 85 anyways. Ok, add this to the "old school route": higher adena drops. And yeah yeah "bots are going to go crazy!" <-- THEY ALREADY ARE, GET OVER IT! With the "old school" route, you can go anywhere! Not just quest zones! They should also just drop the mentee bs and just give everyone the free R gear at 85 regardless. That should be a standard awakening gift.
