If I'm 960 and I do a 750 activity, why is it possible for me to get slapped by bullet sponges that all but 2 shot me? They laugh at supers and it makes you wonder why even bother grinding to a higher power level if under leveled content is just as annoying as over leveled content. Proper MMOs have appropriate power scaling that make the grind and effort actually feel rewarding. In this game however, killing a boss 20 or more power my senior gives me weak blue level trash. While I can get two tapped by an enemy 200 power weaker than me. Fantastic formula you have there I must say.
Black Desert and even Neverwinter have far greater feeling of progression and reward for the grind it takes to become truly powerful. If I'm level 80 in neverwinter and I go visit a level 60 area for a quest or something, those enemies are instantly eviscerated whereas before fighting them alone used to be a struggle.
Power is supposed to matter in IB and Gambit, however as a 960 I can get 1 shot by a 916 but my scout rifle or handcannon cant 1 or 2 shot the 916 player where power matters. I lowered my power to 884 and was still able to wreck some faces in an IB match. But by all means please tell me that grinding to 960 was worth my time and effort.

Power level in D2 is just an epeen measuring system for gaming elitists.
