Self-Exemplar: Would you use it?

I was thinking about safeguard mission badges, and super-sidekicking that's upcoming with Issue 16. It occurred to me that it would be really useful to be able to just set my security level to the right level for the mission and not have to deal with finding another player of the correct level and a similar interest in repeatedly banging out safeguards for badging purposes.

That's when it struck me that that next logical step after super-sidekicking, from an exemplar standpoint, is to eliminate the exemplar entirely and just let a higher-level player masquerade as a low level player if she wants to do that. It even makes some sense given how fast the low levels blow through now and Issue 16 looks to be speeding that up even further.

Sure, you get to level 50 but one day you have a hankering to go mano-a-mano with Doc Vahzilok because you leveled way past him before you even got the contacts for the mission. Why not be able to do that?

I realize this belongs in Suggestions, but I posted it here primarily to get a feel for whether this is really an ability that people would find interesting or if it's just my own little quirk that I might find it more interesting to fight a bunch of bone-daddies at their own level than spend an hour wiping out greys in order to get the badge for it.

If the game supplied a way for you to voluntarily "exemplar" yourself to a lower security level of your choice, with all of the attendant restrictions that normally accompany an exemplar, but that you'd otherwise be free to join or leave teams or receive missions from your past contacts in the exemplared level range, would you use it?

Honestly? Yes. I'd actually really like it for getting badges. Sure I can go around and beat up on grey-con Family or Skulls (or whomever), but it's so much more fun if I go around and actually have to fight them instead of just one or two shotting the guys.

I could farm DA without "exploiting" Oroborous!

sign me up!

I'd use it. Especially if it'd let me top off my contacts. I have this weird thing about doing that. I sometimes turn XP off on my favorite new characters just to "see and do it all"... and I hate that we so easily outlevel lowbie (sub 25) content currently. (Not that I want leveling to slow down, I'd just like to be able to talk to old contacts and get a pop up letting me know I'll be self exemping if I take Tony Kords missions or whatever.)

I would we got the same problems red-side (speaking of which any one got kings row mayhem on freedom? @Rivona) with both the Invader and Force of Nature badges all tho with orboro it makes no sense just from a Contact Point of view.

I'd be all for it.

This is an awesome idea. I would freakin' love this!

I'd certainly like it. If for no other reason than going back red-side to get missed Mayhem mission exploration badges for Invader.

Wouldn't this kinda make Ouroboros pointless?

I like it and I'd use it.

If we're talking about logical steps, though... I'd rather see the TF requirements go, first (and I'm not taking "no" as an answer, even from Posi himself ).

Yes, I'd use the feature suggested by the OP. Yes, I agree with Nihilii about removing TF/SF min team size requirements. Yes, I would continue using Ouroboros for the same reasons I do now.

I would, yeah.

Personally, I'd rather they just get rid of mob levels altogether. Apply the invasion mob conning code to all mobs, so that they're always SOME kind of a threat.

Just because you're 10 levels higher than a mob does not mean that suddenly his bullets don't hurt, and that arresting him won't earn you some gratitude from the city.
