There's no point giving new players capped character as they simply won't know what to do with it (if you allocated all the skill points they may not be how that person would want them ultimately and then you need to spend time LOMing stuff - if you don't allocate the skill points the new player has no idea where to put his points assuming they realise they need to allocate them!).
While you may have given everyone a stat capped character you're still going to have starter cash/gear (because people would otherwise just create mule alts to pawn the stuff from in the same way everyone has the Jones NEXT Quad - I'm not judging, I've done that too) so you're still going to need to 'grind' for cash/equipment before you can do anything meaningful unless you're getting handouts from existing players (which only vets will be able to do realistically).
