If anything, it would give me a few months without rampant twinking and powerleveling.
^ This idea is game breaking. The economy becomes near useless, everything that is worth getting becomes camped and you wont get what you wanted when you need it anyways. Most tradeskills were garbage til they redid them around Velious and thus would suck even more. Not to mention the obvious bringing your alt along while your buddy/guild kill the mob to twink a character.

The problem isn't with twinking the problem is with too much liquidity. I think a few well done plat sinks could help alleviate that. These things could be cosmetic for instance an Idea I had the other day was what about offering race changes for an excessive amount of plat or some such gimmick? There are some mechanics issues with racial bonuses and stuff but nothing game breaking , nothing that removes immersion and its something high level toons would consider and eliminates plat.
