I don't really care one way or another but the change in skill is evident when you create a new character. I started a hunter after making an account for an ex gf and my god.... Those people that I was playing with were horrible. I almost got my first ran out of medals on her account. While the sentiment that a new guardian shouldn't be thrown in against highly skilled players is a good one, I know for one I don't particularly enjoy almost every game being sweaty. I'm somewhere in the middle range (1.1-1.4 kd depending on playlist) if that matters
