I'm highly against this. A large part of the fun of old operations and flashpoints is that you can run through them at stupid high levels and face roll it for fun.



Why the hell was it an idea to raise the level of operations if a large percentage of people haven't even beaten RV/ToS on HM tier yet? Or how Nightmare Council can still wipe groups, or even Dread Master Brontes shoves her hands up the players armor and bends them over a Corrupted Clone if you don't have an experienced group??

Make it an option to toggle whether we want to do it as it was created or elevated, or don't give us this option at all.



Plus the reality that not all of us have been here since launch, or came here as already experienced raiders and MMOers from WoW or any other game. We simply haven't done all the current ops at their current levels. There's also a learning curve involved, and that is developed by joining an op at a level below yours so you don't wipe just trying to get from one side of the screen to the other.



There are plenty of people with alts, trying to move them along, too. You might be the best DPS on your team, but now you need a healer or even moreso, a tank. They are different roles for a reason and they require training, too. I am looking forward to learning/doing tanking but I don't want to have to do it at L65! And don't tell me OPs tanking is just like story content or FP tanking because it ain't. That's kinda the point, right?



Because of when I started and how I played (with my SO on a 2-person team) I didn't get a character maxed out until last year, pre 3.0, pre 12x XP. I did do some ops raiding then, but by that point, trying to get a group together to do all the FPs I missed out on was impossible. The old farts had already stopped doing them and GF was and still is a largely unbearable experience. Being able to solo Hammer Station (it drops a nice, customizeable Imperial military jacket my Ops healer still wears) and a few others was great.



But I also hate that so many people are bored, so I don't want them to go away.



So let us toggle. You let us toggle 12x XP. Seems like a reasonable solution. Even if it has to wait until an update.



Til then, I'm happy to say I've migrated all my endgame toons to guilds where newbies and absentees who are just returning are gleefully grinding away at the current content.



ps: I hope to some day be able to face roll for fun. You have no idea how much I aspire to this.
