Reducing my level

[Hasrat]

For reasons different from OP, I'd enjoy something to prevent experience gains, if only so I could stall at 60 to experience some of the end-HW content without over-leveling pre-SB.

This is exactly why I haven't installed it yet ;p

I failed to buy HW before it was bundled into SB, so there's no stopping til I hit 70 now.

Only bright side is getting SAM and RDM so I can keep all the jobs balanced and geared together.

Not having access to SAM or RDM is definitely a downside to keeping my exp capped, but I still haven't even unlocked the HW jobs! I came into the game with the 3.1 patch so ARR and HW were bundled. Because I wanted to experience as much of ARR as possible before going into HW, I was around level 54-55 when I finally entered Ishgard and that was after relentlessly trying to avoid exp. I never did roulettes, weeklies, FATEs, and the like unless something I was specifically after made me do it. I tried to keep up my skills by spam running trials, which gave no exp

Another downside is not really being able to participate in the most relevant threads that have to do with SB, levels 61+ and the abilities that come with it, but the debates and such are always interesting to read into.
