Guild Wars 2

How to describe this as easily as i can….. Down leveling in this game is a good idea, infact as far as i am conscerned 1 of the best in mmos ever. It allows new players to not have content ruined by 1 shoting max gear and max lev characters but……. The way u have done this anet is good and i think it is a good step in the direction of next gen mmos, and i do think it will b coppied if it already hasnt been. But i think a good next step would b to allow players to have the choice to stay leveled high in low lev areas, but instance them. To allow ease of certain combat, ie. 1 manning low lev dungeons so that u can actually see the entire dungeon, which is nearly impossible due to all the skipping that is done. Not to mention just running around in low lev areas if u want to farm ore, or plant ect. Now of course i know what u may say, what would keep people from exploiting easy karma gain and other things. But i am sure the kings u all r as far as DR is conscerned u have that taken care of..

1. So a lev 80 can choose to to remain norm lev and stats but b put into a certain type of over flow with like minded people so that they may have the ease of farming items, crafting materials ect.

2. Make it to where u get the same lev karma from events as u would in that area in low lev, to prevent exploiting for large ammounts of karma/gold/tokens.

3. If nothing else it would b nice to see how far u have come from that lev as far as stats and gear goes, instaead of always feeling like u maxed out your gear, and lev to have relativly the same feel of playin in a low lev area as u do in a high 1.

4. And to actually EXPLORE an explorable low lev dungeon without having to ask people to do it cause as far as it goes now people would just skip to the end if they could, and fight nothing in between. lol.

5.But any way u already have instancing, u would just have to add another 1 to your 2.(main, and over flow.) Keep people from getting tokens if they chose to stay Up leveled in a dungeon, and also recieve low lev karma for events to prevent exploits.

Any way u were the 1st as far as know to come up with the down level system which i think is good, but i think the next step in the right direction would b to allow people to have the choice, which imo will just make your game even more next gen then it already is. For anything that i have left out all i have to do is look at the game u all have made and there is proof that u can make this work also. So if u read this and like it let me know anet, but if not tell me NO then, cause i am interested to hear/read back from u. =)

Mmm…

I’m going to say NAY to this idea.

The thought of people having their own server where people can do events more easily because they’re higher level is extremely revolting.

This game is designed for people who are sick of high levels looking down on lower levels.

If you don’t like it, don’t play. That is your choice to make.
Just like how many WoW-fans have made the choice to stick with WoW. And as hard as it is to believe, some GW2 players probably decided to go back because of their personal preferences.

Level-down is a fundamental part of the game, not something ANet should change because it tickles your fancy.

the down level crap is why i quit, got sick of other games and decided to look and see if they removed it yet, guess not. It’s a horrible idea especially when there are certain areas that are ridiculously hard, but oh i can just level and it would be easier, nope kitten you, your level is just going to get reduced. Fail
