stop take the skills in lower level content.

You're not being punished. That's what the substantial reward of experience (if you're on an uncapped class) or tomestones (on a max-level class) is for. You're being compensated.

And, news flash, low-level game play in any MMO is simplistic and "trash" by your take. It's what allows people to gradually learn how to play their class by incorporating abilities gradually over time. Look at how many complaints there have been over the years in various MMO's when "hero classes" get introduced that start with a whole slew of abilities - and get reputations as being played by clueless people because they just get overwhelmed with the number of skills thrown at them all at once and never learn how to properly use them.

and as lvl 90 i know how to play my class. so what gives?
