I don't think so. Rather he wanted to have the level cap for each expansion so he wouldn't keep levelling higher than he was supposed to be (eg. can't go beyond Lv60 until moving from HW to SB). At least that's how I understood it.

But as others have said, the only way to achieve that is to share the EXP around between multiple classes.

I know it sucks not being able to do things the way you wish, but I will add that since gear is so important and everything is unlocked via the MSQ, if you don't progress further in the MSQ your progress will essentially be halted. Your level is largely irrelevant, being more an indicator of what content you can queue up for and what gear you can use than anything else. So, you can still play with that experience. You being level 80 won't impact you when doing level 60 or 70 content.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. It's a bit disheartening to see that ONLY ONE person understood my issue.
I think I was very clear, but maybe I wasn't since english is not my first language.

Alas.

I did get what you were saying, I just acknowledge that what you want is impossible in the game while trying to sugarcoat it by pointing out that the things you CAN control (gear and unlocks) play a greater role in your experience of content than the things you can't (xp)

Also, if you really want to experience it that way, I'd advise looking into when the content came out in the first place and do it in that order as well. Though, doing raids will be difficult if done using gear that was actually available at the time. Maybe if you can find 7 other people with similar interests.
