I hesitate to use the word, but 'exploit' is the closest thing I can come up with, where players at higher levels (3, 4, etc.) would sometimes drop a TF or two down to level zero to build back up their Energon supply if they were low or had (gasp-horror) run into the negatives (because the game wouldn't let a player CR a TF if they were broke or less). From what I've gathered, that was changed a few years ago, so there's not much of a point to it now.
Actually, there was a discussion in another thread about how it now seems level 0 is almost detrimental to the game because of how it's so separated from the rest of HMW...

What do you mean used to? lol
Those caps can be exploited and you can still make a level 0 with 100mil exp. Why you would, I don't know. But you can, and there are still some 100k exp 0s.
As I recall, most of the people who ran into energon problems back in the day were also addicted to Battle Beast Gambling.
Keep in mind though, that chance to scratch a level 11 is about the same as the amount of damage you'll likely do. lol

I don’t think Discharge is either of those.
I’d also like to hear the opinion of someone who has actually stayed at level 0 for a long while.

Well that and the warcraft episode of South park where the boys stay in the starting area till they are max level, which I would say is against the spirit of the game, but people will play their own way.
Finally, looking at your argument jack, would you agree that if cr was free for all then more players would advance?

Irrelevant to this thread, drop it.
