I'm sure doing that would piss off quite a few vet pvpers. They would see it as being kept from pvp. But I find it hard to believe raping some 3 week old chars with minimal pvp experience is any real challenge or fun. If the pro tour had really nice incentives, for example a weekly pro tour where winner gets a temporary r/r weap deed along with a tour tick. Thats 90k plus a deed that would last 1 week on their weapon of choice then fade. So the winner each week can have a r/r weap like a trophy. Even making it newbied I dont think would be such a bad idea. It means they can carry it around for world pvp/ganks, but who really uses weaps for ganking anyway? My point is it wouldnt be as huge an advantage to them as it seems at first.
However if you get a pro tour with like 20-30 elite players, personally I think thats worth a perma r/r weap deed. Or for a tourny of 15 elite players have rewards of some stuff not getable through just the pvp stone, like newbied r/r lantern etc.
Anyway, if the incentives are good enough and there is at least a scheduled weekly tour for the elite pvpers like on xuo, I dont think they would mind letting those not as good at pvp practice in peace and have some possibility of winning a tourny.
