I agree, and for many other reasons besides just gear. Having the ability to 1-shot everything makes things boring in mmorpg gamestyles. But doing 0 dmg is boring as well; unless theres a major trade off (such as a tank, pulls all agro, does 0 dmg, but takes next to 0 dmg as well).
But when you entirely disregard the leveling process, why not just simply start the game at max level? Honestly? What's the point in even playing the game then? When you look for a new mmorpg, do you look for the ones with the best graphics? Most realistic? Most entertainment value? Biggest fan service? Most explorable world?
Most of these are irrelevant if your game starts with no base. You start out at cap. And the game level of character is dependent entirely on your gear... That makes for a very boring game IMO.
Most of the enjoyment of an MMORPG to me is the journy/leveling process / advancement and growth. None of that 'best gear matters, nothing else' stuff.

You can ask him where the sound bite reference is if you like.
