the way I see it is simply like this. Many of my Guild mates got in on day one, the majority of them havnt made it past level 25 yet, while in all 3 of my beta phases I made it to 25+ in around 2 days. That said I have more or less unlimited play time so I imagine I will catch up to/pass them in short order, Basicly Bioware just evend the playing field a bit.
