    I support this idea.

    My thoughts on overleveling as a problem are that I think some of it can be mitigated by undergearing yourself, since that's really where the stats come from -- but the issue we can't really work around now is that for a large chunk of HW though EW, your level is going to be at least ten over the zones your quests send you to, so there is no thrill to first-time exploring new zones when you've only just gotten to them in the story but you already know nothing is going to try to attack you unless you attack first.

    Yet I did. Over the past 2 week, And I clearly said exactly what I did with that job. It's fairly well calculated for later extension but not so much in ARR (because ho surprise, quest mob is a hunting log mob, here is 7k more xp at lvl 15). And even then, I'm part of the people that liked the old slower progression system.

    I also don't get why some people feel the need to go "no don't do that" when we propose something that wouldn't change anything for them. Are you so against people enjoying the game as they like.

    Yeah, but to me, gear progression is part of the fun.

    That's already the case for every zone? If you want to engage a trash mob, you run towards it and attack it. If you want to avoid it, you... simply go around it. There's nothing magical or difficult about aggro mechanics.

    On the other hand, side quests... those should sync to your current level, for sure.
