As for experiencing the new quests am not sure what is stopping you from doing that, you don't actually have to be at level to do it and get full exp for it with BB. However if they were to release a quest for level 22 for example you only have a short window of opportunity to make use of it with relevance.

Probably the only quest I have not run in game is Tower of Frost. Why? Because when they released it they released it at level 28 and with how reaper interacts with it it has never been worthwhile to run. I know at some stage I will drop by but they made it in a dead zone. Ravenloft they made legendary. I have run all my above 20 toons through it regardless of level because I can run it with anyone without worrying about BB, reaper or anything else. Sure I can't use the gear until I am 29 but nice to collect before hand or to feed to a sentient on the way.

If you were locked out of a quest based on level you would have a point (Riding the Storm Out I am looking at you) but your not.
Gearwise you sort of have a point but with Cannith Crafting and Random loot its sort of a waste of time though I believe they should go through and revisit all pack loot to make it work to formula.

If they release a pack that is not end game it would have the effect on me as follows:
I might play it once for the experience of the content on one of my accounts, the others particularly on my non VIP ones I would not waste money on buying it.

For others interested in playing at cap I would suggest it would be similar as it would offer them nothing. For those not interested in playing at cap and constantly leveling it would provide a speed bump on the way to leveling, with maybe collecting a couple of weapons (as really the items would be no real benefit over those crafted) along the way. And those who like to play at cap will be without any new content to engage with, this likely to cause more issues with subscriptions than those who can still access the content above their level.

I am sorry you feel the way you do but I believe that SSG has this part right.


Ah.. There it is... The support of my argument when reaper mode first came out. I've always said reaper mode was the worse thing they could've implemented into the game because not only does it divide the player base even more than what it was before but now you have ppl such as noinfo here that doesn't even realize that you can do a level 22 quest and still get BB on elite. I mean you do realize theres other modes other than reaper right?? So you're whole argument that new content that's level 22 is pointless is not true whatsoever and lvl 22 is hardly mid epic level. Bringing content in that's lvl 25 or 26 would be my suggestion but as well as for levels 20 - 24.. though i would be satisfied even if they just updated the named gear in those levels, but is that gonna happen? noooo they don't even have short term plans for making that happen..

I am a triple completionist and can easily solo r6 quest and maybe have a slightly tougher time with r8.. but if i take my time i can solo it as well with my pure druid wolf. A build which i live and breathe by.. but i still hate reaper, because if your answer to min/max'rs wanting tougher content is making a mode where you do less damage than intended and give us a penalty to self healing, whilst enemies are doing normal damage output and more so since its reaper and self healing normally and beyond normal in the case of a self healing champ (omg talk about the stuff nightmares) then that's just sad in my personal opinion and is why i still rather do elite mode because at least i don't feel like my character is worthless, like so many others that have tried reaper.. I've literally have had a few friends quit DDO because they were so distraught after doing reaper on just r2! and you know what, i can't blame them.. because when you step into reaper mode it's no longer DDO.. It's a mode for people like you that's bored of DDO and done with just enjoying content for their story and just want a tougher dungeon.

That being said, i never said there was anything stopping me from enjoying the new content and I nor anyone else in the game waits to be at lvl for it bc most of them start at lvl 31 or 32. Therefore no one is at level if you want to be technical. Otherwise i usually start the newer content around lvl 26 and 27 (and btw the Orchard area is still awesome IMO a great place for good xp too especially the slayer area OMG) but i digress.. SSG will do what they want and listen to this new generation of players that couldn't care less about a good story and just want everything to be super hard and complain about some other class that's doing more damage than there.... while the voices of their hardcore audience, who have been here for nearly as long as DDO has been a thing, gets drowned out beneath the noise...
