I don't like them either, but there really isn't another way. A level 50 in
there would lose experience and likely not care on iota. Besides its only
fair, the planes are restricted to 46+ why not restrict some zones
downwards. Just don't make anything that's really cool no drop do it can be
sold by those of an appropriate level to receive it to those who missed out
by already being too high.

I don't like hard limits. I prefer disincentives. Make it so
killing too many green mobs in a short period of time made you
start to *lose* experience (it's too easy, and you're letting
your skills slide). :)
Of course, to get this to work, they'd have to balance the
melee classes so they didn't die to green mobs...
