Buffs & level requirements

Not everything they nerfed was to 'keep us grinding'. Maybe they actually thought it was bad from a game perspective to have newbies uber buffed? Isn't that ( ie., overpowered players via gear and buffs ) one of the very things that ruined the game for most of us? I think this is a GOOD idea, one of the few they had from then on.
