how about instead of getting a new core, you can prestige and just get a high rating points achievement. and ALL your equipment will be reset to first level

Making alt =/= lowering your main down to level 1

with a new alt you don't have all the credits you would have from your main that got downgraded from level 35. Which means you already have a currency advantage over them. Also even with you weapons downgraded you still have all your weapons which is 2 more then a level 1 account starts with (side arm and armor). Even if they removed the cores from your gear as well what is to stop said person from buying more cores with all their currency something which a non varium alt won't have access to from the get go.

So far here is my issues with this

1 Alt only has 1000 credits to start with while main converted back to level 1 has whatever currency they had before leveling down. In most cases more then 1000 credits.
2 Alt only starts with primary and armor while a main converted back has everything they had before they leveled down
3 Alt especially non varium alt can't afford cores right away as active cores cost 10K credits and passives cost 6K each. Player who leveled down unless they have little credits or varium from before can get these core easily.

I won't add the exp factor since that can't be helped no matter what, but give all these things in new players especially non varium's will be not only at a Experience disadvantage, but an equipment and core disadvantage against these players.

Even if all the cores you have were removed for this what is to stop you from buying new cores with your currency? At level 1-10 you can't fight NPC without leveling up so players within that range will be even more vulnerable to these reincarnating older players.

Also there is already people making alts and just farming for a day-week to full gear for the alt's lifetime.... I've taught a new friend to do it.
