I'm not sure why it has to take a heroic effort. Ultimately we're talking about a debuff that's essentially similar to rez sickness, no?
As for very few people using it, and the unequal footing being the nature of an MMO, I have heard that at least one other MMO ("City of Heroes") already has such a system. Maybe I misunderstood what I was told. Anyone have any experience with that? How does it work? How often is it used?
They also, I am told, have a sidekicking system, which lets lower-level characters temporarily go
up in power so that newbies can join high-level folks and get a taste of what they're doing. (I can't see Blizzard implementing that though.)
