My take on "the grind": https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post6220972
Ordinary humans have inhibitions that serve as a buffer against what we know is bad behavior.
However, some people, by blaming others for their own bad behavior, develop a thought pattern that allows them to override self-control in order to achieve a selfish end.

Yeah I think quest chains should have no level difference at all, except maybe the last quest 1 level higher to represent difficulty, but still meant to be played in one go. However wants to take time off to level and run back? I never split up chains, getting -50% bravery for some quests (If I can't do the whole chain at bravery lvl for the lowest quest), is no big deal to me compared to the hassle of having to run back again at a later level.
This would be so awesome... for me leveling during Night Revels was really fun. All levels possible. Reaper is now here to stay (I dislike it for breaking lore and breaking some builds, but what can you do...) but scaling quests really high would have been more fun IMHO. CR 40 more difficult than lvl 30 elite and so on.
My first life I got to 20 with just the ftp quests and vale, which I bought with the free tp I got. That was way, way back, before this influx of free quests like lords of dust. You'd better run stuff on normal first time you run it, you can't always expect people to carry your soulstone. If you expect to join and start TR'ing in a week, good luck.

No repeats? Back then it was typical to do NHE runs in order to get enough xp from free quests to level up. Remember they have tweaked both quest xp and the amount of xp required to level a couple times since "way way back". There were no bravery bonuses. I started in 2009 as F2P and found certain levels were impossible to do just running the F2P quests once. It's better now, but it's still tight, so if there are certain quests you don't like, you're stuck doing them anyway.
