ok...well i know when I first started playing (one month ago) that I did end up running on a lot of higher lvl missions because i had somehow found myself in the clutches of the Dark Junkies....
Master of Sin and Atropa-Belladonna lackey'd my [censored] for nearly two whole days and i outleveled pretty much all my missions that i had available...Still went back and did them tho just because of the pure principle of it...LEARN IT TARD.... but i dont think i ever would EVER expect someone else (the boss) to make sure that MY toon is safe while travelling...my idiot noob self would go wander off a little too far in St. Martial and see the red baloon and then the crack of the toon's backside dead on the ground...because i was really only a lvl 12...ah...never strayed away from any boss after that....lol
