Guild Wars 2

how about making it selectable?

leave the default the way it is and add a slider in settings for people that want to be downleveled further.

I have the most fun when doing events 2-3 levels above my level. I die more often but I like the challenge. other people don’t. I know lots of those and it’s just a matter of taste. it’s not even about who plays better but just about how difficult you like it.

playing better makes it easier on top of that so the slider could really go from mob/event/quest level +1 like it is now to mob/event/quest level -10 or something along those lines. I’ve killed a mob 5 levels above me yesterday and it was fun and I’m not a good player and I don’t even feel like I have any kind of clue how my class works as I’ve only played a few times. It was a tough fight for me and it was much more fun for me that way.

I personally don’t need any ‘reward’ in form of XP or loot or gold for it though. having fun and winning a tough fight is my reward. but people differ on that too.

I have the feeling of leveling too fast and missing fun on the way. I always try to do my personal story quests about 2 levels below quest level to have a challenge there. I’m level 28 now so that might change as I get higher. sometimes I have fun somewhere with the DEs and get so much XP that I miss my deadline and the next story quest is pretty boring as a result and that’s a shame, the stories are really good.

just my 2c
