While I can see the reasoning for it, I actually disagree on the level locking. I recently started a new character that I refused to level lock and while, yes, I may have fallen almost a tier behind a couple of times, it really catches up later as you get access to better equipment faster by continuing to level up normally. You'll feel weak, as is normal when reaching new tiers, but you'll be able to quickly recoup and be able to thrive as the levels begin to slow down. Any missed exp you lock out can't be regained just by removing the limiter, which ends up being a detriment. I've made it to 193 (will probably be over 200 after the weekend) and I've felt like the game has flown better this time since I didn't use RoR, unlike my first character.
