Why is it that mercenary hires are restricted by team level? Would it totally unbalance the surge/city watch to have a 2-3 level buffer on hiring? Ex: if you’re a TL 40, then you can hire up to a 43 level merc.
Currently the hire restriction punishes the highest level player for being at the top in a growing guild. No one can hire their mercenaries, which also hurts the guild when 1-5 mercs on the board are unhirerable.
Thoughts?
I agree, and many other games allow high level allies to be hired for support. I don’t see why we need to have a level restriction on them. Mercs are mercs because you hire them as they are much stronger than your own people, that’s why you pay gold to have them.
Putting a level restriction on them defeats the whole purpose.
You don’t have to put your highest leveled characters in there. You can also check the member list to see if anyone can higher it. So I don’t think that’s too big of a problem. (And for me I don’t think I have any characters at the max level I can get them yet. I started working on my weaker characters more to make city watch easier.) But I do agree that it would be nice if the level restriction for hiring was removed.
