Why not put these events in the Journey Guide so people who got lazy with their alts somehow missed the event can play it (and the rest can replay. Kind of a limited sandbox, if you will)?
I think it would generate some goodwill among the newer players so they don't feel like they missed out and have to farm chars from scratch in months when they become farmable. Could also incentivize some spending from those who want the char but wouldn't spend if they had to start from scratch.
Maybe End Game isn't for you

The bigger issue is catching up. And while doubling the shards really helps that, there's just so much a new player has missed out on and needs to do to get to end-game these days. Though I think putting every character ever into the JG is a terrible idea. Could you imagine how laggy that UI would be with 120 tiles?
I think there are around 60 marquees now.
GG wave 4 LSTB laggy?
Not to say they could do some rotation or something, but as stated above they have always been there as an incentive for active players. Also, while it's a great concept to give new players the "bump", it also muddies the waters when they really have many other things they should be focused on.
As droid said, about 60 marquee. But still that becomes a very busy interface. Not sure you can unlock a marquee if you've only been playing a few days, though. Not sure how discouraged one would be about it, either.
I don't disagree with your general premise, I think the game needs to significantly improve its catch-up mechanics now that we have GL's. JML is a minimum 2 year farm fro someone starting today.
