Killing above your level.

Is it just me, or does it seem that devs no longer reward you for taking down mobs that are significantlly higher level than you?

    Its true. For the time you waste trying to kill mobs that are higher levels than you, it really isn't worth it anymore. Even killing people higher than you doesn't do much, even when its near impossible to do in most games...



    And this is why I am waiting for a game where levels are inexistent, and you raise stats by using a certain weapon for a certain amount of kills, leveling your skill in that weapon/skill tree. Kind of like Fable...



    That would rock...

    Depends what you play i guess.  I get rewarded with more XP in EQ2 when i take down higher level mobs, what more do you need?

    Yep, they prefer you to grind same level mobs over and over, not actually challenge yourself to do something...

    I know the reason killing above your level was taken out of many MMORPGs I have played is the power leveling tactics that tend to come from it.

    Even so, isn't there still sometimes an incentive to kill above-level mobs. Namely better drops and quest rewards?

    The obvious truth.

    Incentive is you wanting to do it in and of itself.  You know for the fun of it. 

    Better drops and more experience shouldn't be given.  A level 50 mob, should have a maximum payout of a level 50 mob not some bonus.  And the reason is if it can be exploited it will be frequently exploited so don't give that bonus.  People are frequently looking to min/man while others are looking to cheat/exploit the system.  You have to hit those exploiters down extremely hard.
