I fully support a experience restriction and/or a level requirement on gates.

There are many reasons for enforcing this, of which I will list.

1. No powerleveling. Simply put, the trailblazers had to level the normal way. I personally fail to see why someone gets to take the easy way out and completely neglect the mastery of his or her class. Sure, he or she is able to learn how to be adequate, but mastery will elude them.

2. No inexperienced players. As per the second half of the statement above, I've met clerics that enjoy going afk or healing themselves while I pull mobs in a duo. I may have 2.5k hp without extenders or a buff as a mage, but that doesn't make me a tank.

If there were a level requirement on gates...

1. No farmers. This is going to be laconic, but I fail to see how some level 20 can get rich simply by picking up items in a map such as Ancient Elven Woods. He or she can work his or her way up like the rest of us did.

2. No spam bots. I can block them, but they're still annoying.

3. No low levels begging for powerleveling. They always float by and beg for powerleveling. Most can take a hint when I say "no." There are some that are dense enough to keep begging until I get annoyed and slam the blockhammer.

Keep in mind that us level 70s have nowhere to go but Forest of Slumber for efficiency. Ancient Elven Woods is mediocre, at best. Low levels have all the maps, we only get one and a half. Yes, Ancient Elven Woods only counts as half a map, at best.
