I took Lvl 9 on this 3rd Life when I hit hardcap so I'm actually earning the xp for Lvl 10 not Lvl 9 despite being Lvl 9.
I've ran Sorrowdusk 7s, Tangleroot 7s, Tear R1, Taming the Flames, Graverobber R1, BoB R1, Black Loch, Beaches, Scoundrel's Run R1, Old Grey Garl and I'm going to run Gwylan's and Tide Turns. Those last two will get me within 10k of Hardcapped again if I run them on Elite never mind R1.
Yes I've been running a 30% xp pot and yes I'm VIP and yes I have a Voice {and mantle} but I haven't run Missing Party OR The Pit and won't need to! I also obviously haven't run Free Delera or Another Man's Treasure and won't need to run those either.
IF the Devs are thinking "well there's enough xp in the game" that's not the problem!
The problem is that some quests just aren't worth running for anything other than Favour/Fun and these {TTF, Faithful Departed} aren't exactly "Fun" quests.
It's not like there's another reason to run TTF or Faithful Departed - Neither have any named loot in them for instance.
I think it's safe to say that TTF in particular is still a pretty tough quest as well {Having completed R1 Tear and failed 3 times to even get to the shrine in R1 TTF on the same character!}.
I know I wouldn't even ATTEMPT to solo R1 Faithful Departed at Lvl 10 - The chances of quest failure are just too high even if I do manage to not die!
Heck I probably won't even run it at all this life as I'm not going for 5k favour and if I was going for 5k favour I'd just run it at Lvl 30!
I'm not going to disagree with that!
Demon's Den like all of IQ1 should be made base Lvl 20 like Epic Keep on the Borderlands!
IQ2 ditto except for Dreaming Dark which should be base Lvl 21!
There's no reason to run any of those quests prior to Lvl 20 anyway - I still don't even take Lvl 19 until I'm ready to take 20!
