If we are going to keep having level squishes, then what is the point in gaining levels to begin with?! Why not have an expansion that adds all the new content without the need to level…
Levelling a new character already feels weird, what with all the mob scaling that’s going on.
*** “Ding! Yay, I’ve just gained a level, my character is now stronger… But then all the mobs have levelled up with me, so my character doesn’t actually feel any stronger… The same mobs I killed 5 levels ago in the previous zone are the same level as me now & take just as long to kill.” ***
The sense of character progression is practically none existent now. So the idea of a level squishing every 2-3 expansions will only exacerbate this & would not be well received in my view.
