Meeting those arguments are as simple as "you knew what you were getting into, it's your choice, take responsibility, don't like it? don't do it. 164 not viable? go lower." A profession not being viable at 164 can be proved by no one rolling the profession at that lvl. I don't doubt the situation is true for 164 nts, but I do question anyone saying 165 nts aren't viable while I've seen so many in my days.
A toon going to 207 gets opened up to 220s, but it's worth it. They get to attack those who go to 165-170.
A toon going to 165-170 gets opened up to 207s, but it's worth it to get that extra perk or nano.
If it's not worth it, they wouldn't do it.
You'll get no sympathy from me if you make the choice to level then cry.
Just to restate this point, I see no/few twinks between 171 and 206. That makes it a broken level range imo. Not 165-170. And I agree that select professions are not viable at lvl 164, just as select professions are not viable at lvl 20. It's a power balancing issue between professions, not a level range issue.
