The other thing that annoys me the most about noob advantages is great players getting noob advantages when they use new companies. Sure.. they don't have very many doctrine abilities, but winning games is usually about being more skillful than your opponent, not having more unit buffs. There are some exceptions, but generally a pro playing with a level 1 account will still beat a noob that is 20-50 but has all his doctrine unlocks. However this problem of mine is only loosely related to the actual noob advantages as opposed to not having every player's accounts linked to a main account.
Edit: Plus, playing those pro players that use level 1 accounts result in an extremely hard game (made even harder by them having access to 4 free recons and a supply drop) for only a handful of pp's (assuming my account is level 5+).
Well the design of training advantages was not to be based on skill, but variation between developed and non-developed companies.
