I'm aware you're saying this, though it was deeply unclear if the person you're agreeing with was. I remain quite unconvinced. The whole point of these "high level" starting characters is that they're _easier_ to learn how to play, even within a particular 'well-known' milieu. You've yet to make any osrt of case that this would be any different at all in a Gloranthan game.
To reiterate the basic point: in some ways it's easier to play an archetypal instance of [arbitrarily chosen Keyword] than to play some unfledged youth, whom to play effectively one needs to understand his society in a much more rounded fashion.
