That example was a real one from the Spanish Aion community I used to play in. That's simply something that can happen when ingame levels matter more than the story itself. We might not find such hardcore cases, but we might still find cases that won't quite work ICly.
It depends on the character people want to play. Say that I want to play a 38 years old veteran soldier who managed to survive Carteau. I can't imagine that he has no experience whatsoever when he starts at lv1Â five years later, for all his heavy training and experiences happened in the past. This is why I'll only care about your story and who your character is, not about their OOC levels.
Another example is my own characters. They do start as inexperienced at lv.1 because I consider that more fun, but they don't gain experience as they gain levels. That would mean that they've killed Ifrit, Titan, and even Jesus, which doesn't work. Until Clover receives proper training in the RP itself (and perhaps not even then), she won't be any sort of outstanding fighter.
