Thread: How would you feel is level caps were integrated with the Main Story quests?

I'm in complete support of level caps on a lot of content, primarily raids and primals.

Only if I can wear my level 50 gear and have it scale down to the cap. I don't think anyone wants to have to keep gear sets for different levels when we already have 7 classes to keep track of.

Ahhh someone who hasn't played FFXI LOL

No. Level caps just fracture the player base even more and create unnecessary barriers towards progression.

Level caps should never occur ever again.

How do they fracture the player base in any way, shape, or form?

There's content separation and level caps are just another way of balancing content for appropriate ranges. Using that as an example how does:

1. A party consisting of players level 25 get affected by a level cap on content of 25?

A: It doesn't, if it affected anyone it would be level 50 doing level 25 content.

Do you remember CoP? It won't work out like the way you say at all if they're integrated into an entire storyline.

Because you create barriers for lower levels to progress because it's outdated content. This puts an additional burden on lower level players and holds them back from catching up with the main content focus.
