I agree with the OP.
I think it's really easy for new level 50 players just starting out in RvR to get frustrated by New Frontiers when they get repeatedly owned by RR12s. Changing Cathal to allow 50s under RR5 is a good way to lessen the shock of RvRing at level 50 and I think would actually help player retention.
This.
The only point I can add is that meeting new people is extremely difficult this late in the game. I have exactly one in game friend from the old days.
It's very difficult for anyone to get a group unless they have a known name or friends/guildmates in the group. This is a major frustration for both new and returning players.
Having CV open to anyone under RR5, CL5, and ML5 would be a great way for new and returning players to make in game friends; Emain Macha and the old school leveling grind once served this purpose.
