Hasn't been that way on E'ci in any of the events I've seen. Also it makes
events like the undead invasions totally pointless. What challenges a level
40+ in those case, slaughters everyone who would normally be in one of those
zones. Better to do that by having a horde of lower level mobs for the mid
range characters to battle, while having a half dozen or so gm controlled
mobs which concentrate on targeting the high levels who come to "play"

well to some extent, the rewards at these events are given to the folks that
tend to roleplay. in parts of the lanys saga 2 of my guildmates were
rewarded
with items and they were level 30ish at the time. and it wasn't cuz they
killed
the uberbaddie or whatever, it's cuz they roleplayed. i believe the claw of
veeshan was also given to roleplayers rather than whatever level 50 happened
to show up and blast whatever npc happened to be there. i believe (at least
for
the main storyline dynamic events) that the enjoyment of the event is in
participating
and roleplaying, not killing the npc's.
