There's a huge problem overall in Disney's next move to introduce any storyline or addition - which is the same issue they had a year ago... and that is "how do you fill in the gap between Pearl Completion vs. L40 vs. New Story vs. L??.
If your at L40, and a new story comes out and gives you enough REP for say 7 more levels (say they raise the REP cap to 50) this will leave another 3 Levels to 'grind away...'. Good for us at L40... but bad for new accounts. Why?
If I start new and the Quest comes out - I would probably do both question together (finish the Pearl at around L27 - then Play the new Quest and lets say it gets me to L38). Now to get to L50... I'm looking at 13 levels even HARDER that the ones from L30 to 40.
In fact - each time Disney releases a storyline which does not take the player almost to the end to the Noriety Cap - the distance between story quests and Notiety Cap will increase and be harder.
You could put a stop-gap measure in there (say not give the next story quest out until L35) - but making new players wait for what should of already been given to us all a year ago will only turn away newer paying customers and the game won't continue to grow.
Its a very big probblem of logic... if they release the Kraken without raising Noriety - olders players maxed out will feel gipped losing Noriety to doing a quest where it doesnt count - in reverse if they raise the cap without fixing the 'Noriety Gap' between the stories, this will only alienate new players and they lose out there...
I'll be very interested to see how they solve the issue... I think they tried to with adding side quest to a point... but these only provided at most enough REP for another few Noriety Levels... They would need to release several more along with a major quest to fill in the gap to make an entire trip to L50 (or close to it) not become a major challenge of finishing all the quests - yet be left going from L38 to 50 only grinding away weapons...
We shall see I guess
