If there weren't already cries of GM Favoritism before this, there certainly would be after.
This is a net negative, and if this became a thing, I would want it, exclusively, for new characters that fill a role and aren't going to be just.. wandering the world as an adventurer that can be jumped (or do said jumping).
As Appo's said. If an Apped Level 70 walks into an event, the entire dynamic of everything shifts. It's not the normal playerbase vs the eventmin's plans. It's now a focus on the higher level characters getting the spotlight and the eventmin having to plan around "Oh. I have a Super Character joining the event. Fuck me I guess."
It's not fair to anyone involved... So let people be narratively strong at things they are good at during an event.. But allow it to have reason why they are narratively strong there. Power of Friendship. Malia drinking Go Go Juice that burns out her retinas. A character who is particularly attuned to a certain element, and it's their entire schtick, and they are in an area suffused with said element. Etc etc.
