Hey guys great game I’m having a blast in all areas but one. I don’t tend to like many alts, and I like to do everything on my main. I love the idea of down leveling, but in practice it simply isn’t enough to make lower tier content all that interesting,
My main is a thief and I have him fully geared out in exotics. I’m not built as a glass cannon. In my full regalia regular mobs in lower zones are a three shot affair. Veterans feel like a regular high level mob and champions only provide a challenge if I’m soloing them. Even some of the big world event bosses become pretty easy.
My problem is that I am a fairly considerate player in PvE, and feel like a jerk if I go full throttle through a lowbie zone, especially during DEs. I’ll go full tilt if I am by myself, but as soon as I see a true low level character I feel the need to slow it down, because I could literally prevent them from getting any participation in the event.
This leaves me the options of crafting myself some lowbie gear, which is tiresome and bag-choking, or stripping off gear until I get to where things get interesting again. Now my Charr is a sexy cat, but I think there could be a better solution than getting naked.
My suggestion would be a down leveling slider that will allow players like myself to push ourselves lower than the automatic system already does. Keep the top end of the down leveling where it’s now and give us the option to set our personal down leveling to “X levels below standard down leveling” with the option to go negative for the lowest zones and the option to disable personal down leveling for anything above a certain level . . . say 75. No one wants to be at less than full strength for anything in Orr. :-D
Thank for the hours of fun I’ve had so far!
