I’m sure many people have experienced the pains of doing mercenary missions when the boss level is set 15lvl over theirs. The extreme level penalties cut your damage in half and make you receive multiple times more damage than normal, resulting in very painfull experience.
You could say this is issue with matchmaking, But this game has allready 280 lvls and plans for more so the restrictions feel very narrow. Pigeonholing us to do content +5lvls over or under our level is really restrictive outside missions too and often prevents us from enjoying the game with our friends.
To make the game more enjoyable I would suggest the damage penalties from level difference be lessened to allow players 10-15 levels apart play together at the very least.
IF you have any opinions on this matter please post below, and hopefully get IMC to notice this!
