That's your opinion. Also you just admitted that being lv 30 only benefits PVE situations. I rest my case. There's no need for PVP only players to be 30. Also you get a 20% damage dealt reduction and 20% damage taken increase for each level lower you are than the NPC you are fighting. There are 100% ZERO enemies that are level 30 outside of the Raid on hard mode. So being over 28 is the only thing you need to be able to complete to nightfall and weekly easily. And no the reductions are NOT converted to buffs for every level above you are. So once again.... being 30 is only beneficial to fighting raid enemies. Your damage to anything lv 28 is still the exact same as someone who is 28.
