Only problem I'd have is what Baron suggested - a new player could in theory buy lvl52 and max gear for cash in one shot. TBH I don't like that but at the same time I'm not sure there's a realistic issue with it. Maybe they won't understand the basics of the mod but really there's plenty of people I've seen put in many 100's of hours who still don't seem to grasp these concepts (yes, you have to build cades before Thor or the run will probably wipe). Jokes aside, I'd like to think our small community is welcoming enough to teach the basics of the mod to new players who want to learn regardless of their level or what gear they may have bought.
For some people the fun is in the grind. For others the fun is in using their maxed out gear and being as powerful as possible. I personally hate lvling a new hero especially when I know that sweet sweet t4/hero gear is just sitting in my inventory begging to be used. There was a time where I loved the grind but as the years have gone on and real life has gotten more time consuming it's hard to justify spending all the time to level new classes in a mod that I've already put thousands of hours into.
It's not like this is an uncommon concept either. Many MMOs include some sort of level skip option, especially ones that have been out for a long time and contain multiple expansions.
I don't really get that argument.
What is the difference between a player who bought the hero on day one plus the gear to go along with it and a player who leveled his one character in a weeks time to level 52 but still bought the gear anyway.
Player A will have more experience and might as well be a better player due to the fact that most of the players on rag know somewhat they are doing and most likely more gold/loot than compared with player B who leveled the original way after a week.

You can buy levels for gold but the levels that you do buy get a little less skill points cause the why I look at it is you get skill from XP
And in reality if you pay to get ahead in the army you are 99% of the time worse at fighting then those who work there way to the top
And those of us who like leveling up the hard way don't feel like it's all a waste of time
I don't think that's a better solution. This game is not based on individual skills. Most of the time the success in the runs depends on your gear as well as your class' power. The best melee player won't be able to do a full rag run with normal barricades in his inventory.

Only fast level up 39 can work better
I personally have no problem with new players buying themselves level 52 hero characters.
I'd endorse that even because then my legendaries will raise in price (x
