If your realms suck, stop blaming the whole game for it.
I think you're missing the point.
It's not about blaming players or the game itself. It's about finding ways to create more opportunity and make realms more dynamic.
Penalizing old characters does not increase turnover. It doesn't increase opportunity. All it does is hold down these characters, making them less fun for their players, and making them create less fun for their peers.
Agreed, that's why we should find a way to encourage people to retire old characters and make way for the young ones instead of penalizing the geezers.
