Sounds really interesting actually. The lowered crafting abilities are irrelevant IMO because you could just buy top tier shit off of other people with your ill-begotten loots or kill people and take it. However, does lower tier training facilities mean that your toon will be disadvantaged in abilities? If so, that's super ghey. You're already going to be zerged, but now you have lowered abilities too? Same thing as stat loss IMO.
