Yes, I agree that grouping players by starting time is fair. But it's fair only as long as you do not make bigger break in playing (let's say 6+ months). If you want to start again, you have only those options that I mentioned earlier.
It will be even more unfair if you actually paid for something with real money. If you want to start playing again you basically lose that money.
This is the only game I encountered so far that punishes you hard for making longer pause in playing. You are not able to pick up where you left it and be competitive to others. In most of the games you are matched against the players that are +- equal to you.
If you buy a new car, then neglect it for years, it's not the car companies fault if your tires rot from it sitting, or other things fail due to not being properly maintained.
Rewarding someone who has not been committed to the game is not fair to the people who they are put up against that have been committed to the game.
The issue in this game for what you suggest is that there is no good measure of who is +/- you, other than time. Money is the advantage you buy and it shortens time. Other than that time is the only constant, and having based on when you start, allows them to "reward" commitment.
