| Actually, having 20 man/40 man raids at level 65 or so might be an interesting mechanic, if this were another game.
For instance, the level curve would be EXTREME. To go from 61 to 65 and then going to 65 to 66 would be like doing level 1-2 and then doing 2 to 60. There are certain level plateaus where the curve becomes almost korean.
The only way to keep up at a decent pace is to move to harder zones and fight harder monsters. These monsters however also jump incredibly in terms of difficulty. The only way to level reasonably from 65 to 66 is to have the 'raid' armor you start to raid for at 65. You can still level to 66 without the raid armor if you want... it would be far more efficent to simply take a time out and raid for a bit to gear up.
Naturally this would never happen in WoW, but I still think it'd be an interesting system to allow for non max level raid content. |
