I am hoping that there be some worthwhile reward in the works for reaching level 50 once they do this. Khelds are rather complex to set up, and I know I personally didn't know enough about the game to have handled one when I hit 20 on my first toon. It would be intersesting to see the actual numbers of "veteran" players who havent hit 50 on either redside or blueside yet- If it would be safe to assume that anything less than a full year would IMHO not be considered "veteran". I honestly don't think we should downplay the opinions of those who have already put in the work to unlock on both sides. I was excited at the prospect of unlocking when I got my first 50 vill and hero, and I do hope they have something new planned for endgame if they plan to follow through with this. Hopefully nothing akin to WoW bumping up max level twice.
