Just about everyone who plays a level-based MMO develops a notion of "preliminary levels" and "real levels". The preliminary levels are rushed through, coming and going so quickly that you might as well not bother doing anything besides minimal upkeep on your toon. Then you hit the real levels, when your character's life turly begins....

You make some good points, which I agree with, but I don't really think that's why people don't do much with the low-level IO's. I think it's because the marginal improvement before L25 on IO's is ridiculous. They just get SO much better each level from 10-25 or 30 that it's not really worth slotting them.
Than again, back to your point, if you aren't gonna be hitting 25-30 anytime soon, they're better than nothing...by a LOT!

Right, plus set benefits don't directly skew to level. Slotting Kinetic Crash on my 23 blaster meant 3 pts of KB protection jsut as it does to a level 43. I hate KB so much, it was an investment I was happy to make.

I been looking at some of the lower lvl IO I have found on my fire/ice blaster (sitting at lvl 29.5 right now) She has 562 merits and with no real push to get up in lvls other than to get access to the 35-39 random roll range.
been thinking about some sets to get a bit of deffence, vs the kill me if you can. But really one night I could be at lvl 32 and have my nuke.

Nothing saids its your spot like an ourob. Portal dropped on the ground.
I do. But then I jump around from alt to alt a lot and think nothing of leaving a character untouched for 2 weeks. And I don't play the market as much as a lot of people.

I give everything a chance to sell, and a lot of it does.
If it's still sitting there after a couple of days, I'll delete it.

Same as this for me. I just throw up just about anything that drops. Red market is pretty slow though and I tend to pull down and vendor anything if someone else is also sitting there trying to sell. I get kinda worried that they will slowly dry up anymore, merge markets plox!

The thing is, the demarcation point between prelim levels and real levels are a lot more arbitrary than folks on forums like to think. Level 32 is considered "low" to some folks; a fortnight's worth of playtime at most. Me? I just got my two-year vet badge today, and my highest-level toon is just shy of 38th level. Granted, I haven't actually been playing all of that time, but the simple fact is, I consider the acquisition of Stamina around 20th level to be when my "real levels" begin. The upper thirties actually feel kinda boring to me, with controller pets and fulcrum shifts and big AoE nukes doing all the heavy lifting. My 37 archery/devices blaster actually has more slots than he really needs, and picks powers just for the hell of it because once he got Rain of Arrows and puts some slots into it, fights werely largely over before they began (Trip Mines are basically just deal-sealers).
So yeah, I'll make a level 23 IO set enhancement. And I'll buy and slot the sucker too. Because I won't be joining an eight-stacked team and just pounding out ten levels over the next week. I'll be soloing, or playing with the two or three other guys I know who play, and be happy to level once in an evening.
