The GM is given control over the place that they start, power speaking.So, is this a problem of the D&D system? It gives you the options to run a game which levels up from 1st to 4th over 1 month of play or four years of play or never. All you have to do is have players who agree.D&D provides a default out-of-the-box setup  but fully expects you to use the various options they present as well as any homebrew to better fit your preferences. It's a menu, not force feeding.I say this as someone who has run campaigns in which the pace of asvancement was greatly diminished and some where it was practically non-existent.MNM and other systems that derive from similar leveled systems accomplish a much flatter power curve with starting at 10th and very slow progress. A 5e game in which you started at say 5th and leveled maybe twice a year or once a quarter (assumes weekly play) would be a fairly stable power level.Just read the menu.</blockquote>
