If you can't have access to them it really neuters the whole concept of mutliclassing. If it is like that, I can see people only taking class training feats to open up paragon paths and  epic destinies, and WOTC has said they are trying to get rid of sub-optimal choices.Now a 1st level ranger might be overpowered with both Warlock's Curse and Hunter's Quarry, but it still takes 2 minor actions, which either takes 2 turns to do, or eats your move action. , and seeing how mobility is so important in this edition, that would be a decision you would have to make turn by turn. It also wouldn't be that OP once you had some levels under your belt.
