Case in point: much of our zone distribution, spawn placement and mission difficulty is based on a simple supposition. Players should be entertained/challenged by mobs -2 to +2 levels different. A single +2 minion should be REALLY hard - a single -2 minion should be pretty easy. But that's the range that much of the game hangs on. And that works great for levels 1 to 20, in my opinion.
Starting at level 22, when players get S.O. Enhancements, they quickly outstrip their foes. The missions cease to be entertaining, because a +1 mobs are just too easy. Better XP can be found by taking on +4 mobs in zones. Single characters can take on spawns that are intended for many heroes. And there's no place for a maximum sized group to go in order to find a tough and rewarding battle.
In the case of making the higher level game more fun, I want to make the difficulty of the later levels resemble early gameplay. At first, some players will decry "but I can't do what I used to! Ack! I can't solo two +4 bosses anymore?" True - but they'll have fun battling 3 white minions - which is something you can say at level 15, but not at level 35. Long term, the entire game will sparkle once this sort of balance is restored - because so much of the game design hangs upon it.
Anyway, sorry for my rambling. I wanted to give you a glimmer of the developer reasoning.

I think that your vision is great in the long run. And yes this is your game that we are paying to play. I can understand the feeling about not wanting to take out 3 +4 bosses at once. But lets look at it like this. We are super heroes...minions should be easy for us... I think that 3 to 5 minions should be no problem for all attacking AT's. Now after that I feel that yes it should get harder. But I do not feel that it should be so hard that in every fight you get your butt handed to you, after all we are super heroes. Bosses and AV's should be butch... sorry AV's are Butch but bosses well are too easy. I think you should look at increasing the abiltys of the LT's and Bosses, not the minons. I feel that they are were they need to be. But in all I love this game and feel that every change so far is for the better. Would I leave if the changed all the mobs...no but I felt like given my 2 cents.
