Ok heres the story.

I am captain 8 doing Cage of Fire which I assume is an admiral mission since the mobs are +4 and the drops are IX. The mission description says I was ineligible when I picked up the mission so I will get REDUCED REWARDS... for doing a mission too high for me?

Now, how does that make sense to anyone? If anything I should be getting DOUBLE the rewards.

Thoughts?

I propose continuing to let players pick up these missions but give us increased rewards for completing missions too high for our level.

It is a way to stop people from having a buddy give them an RA5 mission when they are lt4 and help them through it for massive gain. If the mission is too high for you than you shouldn't do it, and if your with a buddy why not have them help you get high enough so you both benefit from it.

Nope was completely solo from start to finish. And there's no good reason why I shouldn't be doing missions if I can complete the mission.

If that is the case, then i might as well stop playing now, since at LCM9, i am stuck doing CM0-2 missions and i am finding them too difficult for my liking, so if i should not do them, what do i do to level up the 2 levels required to become a CM???

I do NOT do the crappy and pointless repeatable missions, they are just too repetative for my liking, its just something to allow the developers to be too lazy to make more content, blizzard does it with wow, which is why i don't play that game anymore until the exp comes out.

Patrol missions are acceptable, but there are not enough in my level, i am thinking cryptic need to put in more one time missions so people that do NOT like repeatable crap missions to level up.

I know the whole idea of ST is exploration, but I think they should somehow restrict those who are nowhere close to the level needed for the mission. I was exploring and somehow ended up visiting a planet which had me fighting the Jem'Hadar, as well as later getting into a space battle with about five different Jem'Hadar ships, all of whom were ten levels higher than me (I did this mission at Lt. Cmdr. 2).

I thought it was weird how they let me do the mission; it's not like they don't have people giving me restrictions as I fly around ("You are not clear to warp into deep space", "You are not clear to warp into the Klingon empire."), so I think it might be a good idea for us to get some sort of restriction so we can not only know we shouldn't be there, but also makes us curious as to why we can't enter the planet or system.

But that's just an idea I had.
