Going to have to hard disagree with this one, it took me well over 300 spars before I started winning anything. The average new player wouldn't be able to develop, or even get the experiences needed to actually participate against veteran players that already know all the trees intimately. Having them all do aggros isn't really a good alternative, not unless the injuries are ramped down considerably.
As much as I think some people are addicted to sparring, I don't really think this improves anything.
Though if you made it so people actually had to RP their sparring, I think that would be a good compromise. It would stop people chain sparring for hours, and actively help them build comradery and a story together. (I am guilty of chain sparring, though if I'm being honest any joy I have for it is gone now as well.)
Tldr; Old players would remain too experienced and skilled, new players wouldn't be able to get skilled enough to compete; would likely be a negative for playerbase growth and only be positive to the oldguard remaining competent and on top.
