Reason to Use Old Areas

[Kagato]

Who cares if you can EXP off FoV all day when ultimately low/mid levels are all flyover levels? Leech or no leech, you get nothing from being level 51. You never have.

In every RPG ever, you never gain anything except a reason to gain another level in order to take down the next boss. In every RPG ever, the only useful level is the max level you can have at the time.

Really, if early levels are such a burden, why have them? Why not just start the game at level 99 and spend your time collecting gear from day 1? Why not eliminate leveling entirely?

Let's just eliminate a leveling system entirely. :/
