Loyalty points will widen the gap as much as event points do, this would be the concept i would go with for event points already if it hadn't already been the way it is for so long. I think you people are worrying too much about the difference between older and newer players, it is based on days invested into this game and ray can make it so its harder and harder to get the next tier so eventually most people will be on the same tier. The way i see it, you people are acting as if there shouldnt be a gap between players who have invested a lot of time and players who have as if you expect new players to catchup to older ones in an instant.
We already do have some catchup mechanics in place which are underestimated
1. Support level, a paying player can still even if we had a loyalty system in place overtake a non paying player in several ways, loyalty will reduce this effect but it wont stop it by any means
2. Event points, firstly whilst this probably wont happen as suggested, ray did mention giving players 1 free event pack, i'm not sure if this exists for every event but the diamonds alone will allow newer players to catchup to older players quite fast as older players have less places to invest in efficiently, secondly a paying player can catchup to a loyal free to play through this to a degree
3. new content, we have new content that while making the gap wider, allows newer players to get to a point where older players were faster
4. carries, there are some guilds dedicated to inviting new players and leveling them up with their alt accounts to help the catchup process
5. hindrance, whilst its not visible anymore, above level 405 levels begin to get significantly slower
Whilst a lot of these catchup mechanics are geared towards paying players, i personally think the amount thats avaliable is as much as a new player deserves with the current content in the game
