Now that leves will be gone from our main exp function...

The cap should be removed as it is one of the main reasons people do not group up and party. You can solo some mobs that are 10 ranks higher than yourself and certainly duo/trio them, this makes being in a large group kind of pointless and also makes fighting tougher Mobs that challenge the group pointless.

I'd say being able to solo mobs 10 levels higher than you is more of a problem. The balance of the mobs is completely off, something that much higher should be near impossible to take solo. We seem to have the exact opposite problem that FFXI had in its early days.

Mobs of a similar level to the player should offer a suitable challenge. Equipped with HQ gear or rare NM drops, perhaps you can go a few levels higher. Equipped with low rank, outdated equipment, perhaps only a few levels lower.

This should apply to high ranks too, trying to fight the level 99 mobs (that shouldn't really be there at all) should be like trying to kill level 50 mobs at level 1. 1 hit kills all around.
