Game Mechanics: Should not be able to complete epics before 45

At the very least it was recognized, publicly, in early Velious that Ragefire was farmable via Gimblox and chaining off a Natasha, meaning that anyone could do the Cleric epic just for pearls.

Not all epics required specific faction from previously completed parts of the epic. You could always skip the beginning of the enchanter epic and for rogue I know you can skip the side quests and whatnot.
