Why not let higher tiers play in previous scenarios?

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I surely don't think I'm the first one to think of this.
Why have 4 scenarios each tier, and only those 4, forever and ever? Wouldn't it be fun going back to the first tier as a level 30 or 40? As you get higher in level, the possibilities should open up for maximum replayability. There could even be a browser that lists how many people are queued for what.
Note that I'm not saying play against players in lower tiers, but simply able to access them with other players in your current tier.
I'm glad they put in the options to queue for all 4 scenarious in a tier, but wouldn't a little more information be useful? Let us see how many people are queued in each scenario. That would be even more useful if my idea above were implemented, so you wouldn't wait in vain for an 'empty' or unpopular scenario.

Sounds good to me, but I think they might need to extend the way they implemented queuing for all.
At the moment when you use 'Join All', it literally submits four parallel requests which also allows you to remove any scenarios that you might not like (e.g. Tor Anroc). If they allowed people to access older scenarios too there would be so many in the list that it might get over complicated, especially if people starting being more selective.
My solution would be to add an extra 'Lucky Dip' option, where you were only in one queue but had no idea what it was for. Queuing preference would initially be given to joining scenarios where other players had selected the same option, but if not enough were available after a certain time limit then it would also allow players to be selected for the four regular scenarios in their Tier as with 'Join All'.
In that way it would be possible for players of all Tiers to replay older scenarios picked at random without having to worry about queue fragmentation making people wait for hours on end.
Just an idea though.
If you can't "Have your cake & eat it too", then how can "The proof of the pudding be in the eating"?
Take the Hecatomb? TCG What Is Your Doom? quiz.
I'd play every scenario except Grovod Caverns.I hate that with a passion! The rats, the crappy uneven ground, the spawn barrier... I just hate it!
I don't think there's been a huge clamoring for this, otherwise knowing how Mythic always listens to its base , they'd have put it in already. Sadly, you're one of the few who'd think this would be a good idea probably.
This idea would definitely suck up too much resources now and they are fixing things first before thinking about adding new stuff people MIGHT try once in awhile for a hoot.
