You would be right except:
This specifically states they have no idea and are making shit up, years into the game after allowing it.
Please explain, with real reasoning, how a lv 1-45 cleric holding an epic harms anyone at all? It doesn't harm anyone. Shaman epic? Same thing cant click it. Neither are worth a crap until they are be clicked, save for stats.
Now which epic is both easily obtained and usable 100%? Rogue. It isn't hard to figure out. Which server would have the most impact? Red. Cause a rogue backstabbing for 140+ at under lv 20 could cause serious problems.
On blue? Worst case they solo, best case they group and their groups LOVE an epic rogue dpsing for them.
So, you are right, they didn't SAY it was to counter the pvp issue, but that is what it does, in action. Beyond the look of epics on sub 46 chars, it does nothing to harm the game.

Of course this change effects the rogue epic more than other epics - it's the easiest to MQ at a low level and is very impactful at a low level. However, to infer that the rogue epic was their motivation for this change is pointless speculation since it has nothing to do with the stated reasoning.
I do understand why you're focusing on this, and especially on the least impactful pre 50 epic (clr). It makes for an argument that you feel you can win. Do you understand what a straw man argument is? If not, look at what you're doing and compare it to the definition.

Also the cleric epic does not require planar travel - at all - and thus this other 'reason' he stated is both irrelevant and moot.
Next bad argument please.

He didn't say that all epics require planar travel and therefore you should be at planar level. Please try reading this again.

Additionally, we feel that acquiring an epic weapon should only be possible when a player has become powerful enough to cross interplanar portals.
