Slingshot mechanic
I think adding a slingshot mechanic for old characters would improve the game greatly and it could be done in a fair way. 2 ideas: 1. Significantly lower the energy required for old toons. Vets shoul...

i think so too, but seeying as i'm an f2p player i do like the idea of older toons becomming easier to farm/gear!
It could also see this as an issue for long time F2P. I know it's an odd thing to say, but people might get bored when they run out of things to do.

Old toons are not useless and some may come back into the light if the meta. There is no reason they should make it easier than they have. If they are going to increase shard income it should come from events like they have been doing, this has a benefit for many players not just one particular group.
i'm not running out of things to do any time soon, i have however ran out of "usefull" things to do which are "worth the investment". Quotation marks because it's subjective. Objectively speaking i got loads of usefull toons left which i can upgrade.
Shards from events is fine by me, but the gear is a different matter. If older characters would require less gear, it would give incentive to gear them up instead of a newer, (most of the time) more powerfull character.
I've yet to unlock baze who still sits at 16/50 and i'm relatively sure i'll never gear him. Not because it's a crap toon, but because other/newer toons are more worth it. Granted, even if his gear requirements were cut in half, i still probably wouldn't gear him.. but atleast then it would be a choice worth considering as opposed to now.
