    then instead of making the mid game content a challenge to endgame players

    why not ask for MORE endgame challenge

    seems more logical to me

    Making new content that is able to be played by ALL ranges of players is easier than constantly having to make new content over and over for specific rank ranges.

    Creating one rank 30 dungeon and one rank 50 dungeon that are BOTH useful for rank 50 players takes a lot less time than creating one rank 30 dungeon (that is useless to rank 50 players) and two rank 50 dungeons.

    so the solution is to add easy and hard mode (for higher ranks) not capping your level, but it is probably too WoW-ish that everyone is gonna cry more because we all know how hard people cry over WoW's terms.

    Easy and hard mode is functionally the same thing as a level cap. It's just a difficulty adjustment.

    Except a level cap takes less effort by the devs to do since they don't have to design an additional hard mode.

    Yes it takes less effort by the devs, but it is also more annoyance for the players.

    When you are downgraded to rank30, you lose AP, which means you have to redo your abilities, if you plan to do it alot, you will have to write a macro, it just sounds like plain annoyance for the players, and that is probably the last thing we need.

    redoing AP isnt that bad for 60 minute content blocks that should theoretically be entertaining.

    It sure is if you plan to do it alot, probably alot of days for a few weeks after it releases.
    I'm not feeling redoing AP to 30 and then to 50 for another dungeon and repeat every other day.

    the FF'ish solution is capped areas/missions/dungeons... and serves the same goal.
