The basic point of the forum post is that I would love to see the level cap for quest raised from +5 to +10 because right now there is very little challenge in doing quests that are only 5 levels above you. You will understand more by reading my post ... and also reading the replies (which I think are GREAT) https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?557667-Level-Restrictions-for-Quests-Raised&p=7254027#post7254027 I'm very lucky to have a group that meets once a week and we are finding that we just tear through quests and content that is only +5 levels above us and it would be nice if Turbine could change this. I don't see any draw backs, but maybe I am missing something. I am not a proponent for more xp and think that xp should cap at +5. I hope that all makes sense ... Thanks for any input you guys might have. I LOVE listening to your show. ~Morty   Contact Information Email: lotro.reporter@gmail.com Twitter: @lotroreporter Facebook: LOTRO Reporter Voicemail: 616-666-6778 or the widget on the right side of the screen when you visit the site.
