Thats the whole point of an MMO over a signle-player game. if they ain#t the same level and can#t even trade, whats the point of playing the game? look at gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/75979/…, it has some good answers with good studies that suggest that a level cap encourages playing togther 8because there are people you can meaningful interact with), and that that in turn is good for retention rates.
