I know what you're saying. Infact, I've argued that exact point before. I'm in the same boat as other people who couldnt log in; my character is level 1.
But lets face it, the first drops were destined to a few organised groups of players anyway. Since the login-server randomly kept certain players online and others offline simply mixes things up a little. Organised clans will still pull ahead, and if anything, the point could be argued that it didn't create a disparity between geared and under-geared players. Potentially even the opposite. No one could say for sure.
