Ascending & Skill and Attribute Points

I have read posts which talk disparagingly of players at level 3 & 4 ascending (by being rushed by Guild Mate 20s). I then read a post from a player who ascended at level 11.

My question is this: When you ascend to level 20 from a level 11, do you gain all of the Skill and Attribute points that you would have gained by questing and farming, etc. to get to level 20, one level at a time?

If you just pop up to level 20, without the skill and attribute points, Why do it? I am having a hard time following the logic of doing this. Is it just for PVP in the Hall of heroes? Why not just start a PVP character from scratch, then?

This is a very baffling conundrum.

Yes you get them.

Oh yeah and you do roleplaying to unlock things, a pvp char with no skills weapons runes etc unlocked is worthless.

Just take your time man. Have fun.
