I totally agree, there def should be some form of warning, I fell foul of this with an alt, luckily it didn't matter... but still, I've bin playing for >2yrs and forgot about this - how is a new player supposed to realise ?
For what it's worth Kick, IP will _not_ be a problem once u eventually hit TL6 ... I had over 2mill points spare, with nothing to put them in, so I raised Map Nav then to upload all the maps anyway So, although u r gimped a bit now, hopefully it will even itself out as u level up... little comfort I realise, but a glimmer of hope maybe?
