Ludonarrative Dissonance and the Level of Field Monsters in Norvrandt

[Vyrerus]

I still giggle at the thought of the one Treant in the level 80 SCH capstone quest, who could probably solo all of ARR by itself (assuming it's immune to tempering and such).

How about them level 80 Ala Mhigan bandits? That X'ruhn Tia and Aria were kind enough to merely subdue. Meanwhile the ones that assailed the WoL? Dusted.

The other option, apart from writing a treatise on the hows or blaming "chadsteel" is that the WoL has some issues. They just pretend that everything's been leveling up with them as they go, so that they don't feel bad about routing all the people they gotta beat up.
