Well... I don't know what to tell you then. This is a six year old game and consequently it is going to be very top-heavy. I don't think that justifies making rather drastic changes to parts of the game that work fine for the vast majority of people.
Find a progression guild, or start one. Go play on EQ2X, where almost everyone is new and therefore low level. I'd rather SoE implement a progression server rather than alter the game any more.
