AK has catchup mechanics too. They should be getting 1-2 day work orders until they start to catchup to everyone else.
I hit 110 on my warrior yesterday and my AK work orders are still 2 days 7 hours each, so not quite down to 1 day just yet even for fresh alts. I think they need to make it a bit quicker, because I imagine that most guilds are at the point where they would be very hesitant to recruit someone without at least all 3 golds (just as a baseline, I know some classes gold's suck), which will be a little frustrating to re-rolls and latecomers. I don't think anyone would be upset if they accelerated it to ~2 weeks to get to AK 11-12, but as it is 30 days to get to there is a bit of a rough buy in if it ends up making it much more difficult to find people to play with.
Though that is emergent player behavior and I don't know if it actually has/will happen, so it might not be a problem at all.
