Increase level banking or BB range to help grouping

[rabidfox]

It'd be nice if level banking could be raised by 1 (or just remove the banking cap entirely- is really gonna break anything if people can park at a level bracket for ages?). I've been in many groups lately (especially in lower/mid heroics) where myself or someone else hard caps and since people want their 100% BB bonuses that the group falls apart mid chain or saga. It's a bit sad that I'll have to bail on a pug I put together and have to go solo the last few quests so as not mess up the rest of the party's XP gains. Increasing heroic BB range by another level would also work, but I think a higher or removed XP banking cap would be viable solution to some grouping issues that I see crop up a bunch (unless there's some behind the scenes technical reason this wouldn't work, but given iconic parking levels I assume it would be technically doable).

bravery was a perverted old turbine idea, introducing anti-grouping and playerbase-splitting mechanics in a mmo. introducing the whole elitist\casual grouping issues drama we still see nowdays somehow. do you remember, nope dude it will break my streak! thanks turbine for the punishing game foundations! and it was just one, there was also, like, party-wide death penalty LOOOOOOOOOOOOL. what were they thinking those clowns, introducing specific ways, ways, plural, for players to build grief against other players by design...in a mmo...dudes really.

from a long time now those issues are partially fixed, we have to acknowledge it. very well done. thanks for it.


agree with OP, it could not hurt to bank more than one level, or somehow loose up level range in questing. like, epics, they are very interesting and popular exactly because level ranges\penalties are more loose.

Up to level 10 this TR and have capped out in 2 different pugs mid-chain/saga so far. Bailing on the Gatekeeper level 3 chain was annoying but dropping out of Feywild base 5 quests that I'd put up the LFM for seemed cheap, "Come join my group. <3 quests later> Oops more XP than I expected there and now I'm hard capped <sigh>". It's great the there's tons of quests in the 1 to 12 level bracket now, now if I could actually finish them off in a party with having to do math to figure out when/where I'm gonna max out at and have to bail...
