Game Mechanics World Bosses blocking power leveling spots

Add world encounters to block off good power leveling spots, similar to how Bane of the Great Bridge blocks entry to the herb cave, in essence to give power leveling a skill wall. It would encourage newer players to do quests instead of powerleveling because newer players wont have the skill required to pass these bosses, while rewarding the players with that skill with more exp and fun bosses to make power leveling less mind numbing

 

Actually kinda genius

 

Cool concept, but I'm not sure it would stop power-leveling – the people doing it are usually high levels carrying lower ones, so they'd just kill the boss and keep going. It would mostly slow down the regular players who find the spot on their own. If it came with its own loot or a small XP reward for killing it, I'd be fully on board though.

 

Client sided bosses prevent being boosted, and the purpose is not to stop powerleveling altogether, but to make it not the option new players unwittingly go to instead of playing the games content
