(+) Yeah! (+)

There's some games, specifically mmorpgs, where leveling is stupid. Most of those games 99.99% of the game play is after you reach max level. It's not like they need levels to make the game work.

Hell back when I played diablo 3 I hated when new seasons started because it was always a pain to get your first character to max level to actually start playing the game.

I wish they would just drop that aspect already.

They're not for you. They're for the people who don't play the way you do.

For instance, people like me, who rarely play anything resembling MMORPG end-game content, and who has never given a single shit about seasons in Diablo 3 (or ranked ladders in Diablo 2, for that matter). If you're engaging with the core game and not stuff like raids or group instances, normally leveling is usually perfectly fine (especially in games that put effort into narrative that solo players can enjoy).

I am not saying dump it for all games, just some games that don't need them. I am sure there's hundreds of games that don't need the mechanic of actual levels.

All games need them.
