I'm not a beta tester but I beleve that question is answered in the FAQ. It says something along the lines of there being level limits on gear. Or level ranges would be more accurate. So even though you may be able to get some good gear on your alt it won't be overly good like it was in the first eq.
Yeah this is what I've heard as well that items are level based so while you could give items to lower level characters they wouldn't be able to use it anyway until they were at the right level or level range. So I don't think people will have to worry about characters twinking themselves out.
The only thing you could really twink on a character is buying an alt a set of Adept 3 or higher spells/skills, which would greatly increase their damage output, and defences over a_random_newb_01. While it wouldn't provide the same boost that twinking in EQ did, it would make life easier for said alt.
I think after the economy matures, especially with tradeskills, new players will have access to close to the best possible equipment for their level, and be pretty heavily twinked compared to a new character with no help, but it will be nothing compared to old games.
just got in today and almost everything is un-equipable at lvl 6... nice to see, so new characters aren;t "given" freebies right off the bat, gotta earn in that respect.
