@massivelyop Reincarnation is nice and building up character power is helpful, but it has some problems. Main being differences in ability vs newer characters and the over emphasis on leveling fast to reincarnate again. Both fragment the player base.

I don't know if level scaling as in SWTOR would make any sense.

Personally, I am attached to my main characters and enjoy the respec opportunity of the reincarnation. Tired of melee? Reincarnate as a sorcerer. Etc.

@parismarx Yes please in the USA too, but I'd really be happy if feeds don't refresh under me while I'm scrolling. Not that I use X anymore or Facebook much, but that's bad UI right there.
