The advantages of that will be:
1) Nobody will have to grind in order to play at the highest level of this; some people hate it; most people that have quit this game: did it because of lack of time.
2) Perfect competition balance from the get go; nobody can complain they are ungeared; nobody can complain they need another alt/spec of the week.
The disadvantages of that will be:
3) a) lower profits for Microsoft; b) some people may be inexperienced in their class; c) possibly guild-hopping.
