So I have been wondering about this a bit because several of my friends have mentioned this now and they are pretty sure.
Do old characters have a disadvantage against new characters? Specifically tanks.
Example: one guard (full fearless, full AA) that is now F2P plays on a account of a friend to help us out on Emperor. (guard of friend is full T3, half AA) He claims he has more aggro on that guard then on his own guard which should be surperior in every way.
Example2: One DT (Full T4, Full AA) plays on his alt DT that is about 1.5 years younger then his main. (january 2010 vs july 2011)
His alt DT has Khitai gear T1 sword, no hate/crit legs. His main should be surperior in aggro on every single way but he claims to have the same aggro on his alt as he has on his main. He thinks it might have changed after Khitai came out.
I could go on about guildies/friends claiming they experience this but I'm wondering if anyone has any data to back it up perhaps?
PS: rumor has it Funcom knows about it and can fix your old character if you petition but that's all 'hear say'.
