I think I stated pretty clearly in my original post that I'm glad Verant is
giving the high level characters something to do. This might keep you guys
busy until expansion.
My points about neglecting 46- level characters is still valid however.
Since this game has been out, players have consistently begged Verant to add
more quality quests to the game. With the exception of the class armor
quests, most of the other quests for low and medium level characters flat
out suck and aren't worth the time and effort. Is it too much to expect
that as the game evolves over time, Verant will make improvements to all
aspects of the game? You yourself stated the 50 level players are bored so
thats why they start twink characters. It sure would be nice if those
twinks had something different to look forward to (new items and quests).
As it stands now, all they get to do is the stuff their 50th level character
has probably already done countless times over. How boring.
