The problem is that the vets don't want to give up their powerful skills. I can understand that.
But at the same time you must understand that it is almost impossible to start new players and have any fun with them as long as the vets are there. I've started probably 50 or more players. They always end up getting pimped out or powerleveled so that they can play with other groups. Not very many wish to play the low levels. All they do is get rushed through them. The only exceptions are some role-playing types. And even they will most probably eventually get inticed and give in.
