It completely defeats the purpose of an mmo imo, where you progress your char(s).
I agree giving away epics and gold would ruin the game. So I think we're on the same page on those items.

When you use a scroll of resurrection, you get a level 80 with 80 gear, including bags, food, and 75g - and they give you all the way up to artisan flying which is like 4.5k or so. So it's a character that is usable and you can have fun with day 1. You can do dungeons, quests etc... I'd expect the same for a level 90.

I can't imagine they'd give you a level 90 with 0 gear, and no items. That's not very friendly to players who have been out a long time. Coming up with even 3k gold so you can fly around in MOP (and buy the prereqs) is Days and Days of work for most player - most players coming back wouldn't be able to do it. And it would encourage gold buying)

I would expect they'd give you level 88 starter gear that you buy at the vendor, or possible make slightly higher stats level 90 green starter gear. Give you flying, bags, and a handful of repair gold and let you do the rest.

I would not expect them to hand over epics or any significant amount of gold. What I was trying to say is that I intend to farm more timeless isle epics so I can hand it over to my new level 90's. Which I have done regardless of how I leveled them.
