As in live or any game for example becoming high geared takes time and with that you get the benefit of lower tier zones being easier with the 10 rule your basically saying all the effort you put in to gear means nothing in this aspect and I would like to hear your opinion on this Hunter as most things on this server is already pretty time consuming.
The fact that I can clear a zone several tiers lower than my char normally hunts does not mean that I should, or even that it is a moral thing to do. The name for the act of a high level wasting a lower level zone for loot is "bottom feeding" From the point of an observer it is a rude, arrogant behavior. It is highly unfair competition to the players who are properly geared to be hunting at that zone level.
That being said, there are valid reasons to hunt down level. The way you do that is to pop an instance so you do not impact the lower end of the community. At a bare minimum of courtesy, if you do go bottom feeding in a public area you really should consider giving away the loots you do not need.
Like i said keep the rule of 10 live in public zones, now zones are pretty stable even if you train all of pofire or whatever zone you most likely wont crash and even if you do its most likely a client crash not zone so i still dont see the reason other then to slow down progression.
