My personal opinion on 100% rebirths and app boosted characters...
1. 100% Rebirths should be applicable if someone is sacrificing their main to apply for another faction. Otherwise, 75% Rebirths are good enough imo.
2. I'll never agree with apped characters with an RPL head start. There is no repercussions to applying for one. You don't lose your main. You get to have a free 160-200 RPL rebirth depending on the start if you ever get bored of the character. It also supports a game where alts will drastically increase, which, as someone with an alt addiction and constant indecision... Is a bad, bad thing.
Hypothetical Example:
Person A is a Councilor of Moonfall.
A new faction pops up! Wowie! You can apply for a 160-200 RPL character. Likely dependent on the quality of your application!
Person A apps for a fresh character, starting at age 20-23, gets approved as a leadership role with a 190-200 RPL start.
Person A starts playing their Councilor of Moonfall less, and less, and less.
Oh No! Moonfall is attacked... By the same faction Person A just made a 200 RPL alt to play in!
Person A has to pick between new leadership character or moonfall character.
Person A picks their new leadership character.
Attack becomes subpar because as it turns out, Person A wasn't the only person who apped for an alt, a lot of moonfall people did!
Thus they had to pick between two characters and chose the one they're having the most fun with.
in short? Any application that gives free RPL should come with a caveat. A forced 100% rebirth. A retirement of their supposed 'Main' character. Otherwise it's just going to fill the game with the same people and their alts, and end with a very split up community.
