I think the absolute worst thing about the leve-failing trick is when people use it for their first 50. I won't name names but I've seen large numbers of people get "carried" to their first 50 without learning anything at all about the game (I'm not even saying there's a lot to learn) and then try to do ridiculously easy NMs and fail repeatedly or barely scrape by with the safest/cheesiest strategies available. Sure, it doesn't really matter to me directly if someone else sucks, but what if SE starts catering the game to these people? The rest of us want future content to be considerably harder than what there is now.
