GMS leaving asian content aside?

And what experience do these areas provide? Shanghai has very low leveled content; If they released a patch with just that, then nearly nobody would be happy.

Exactly. You might be "high level" but other players/new commers are not. Some people would like to see new areas and new quests. Actually, with every patch they release, nearly nobody is happy..

The main issue people are having, between PQs/rewards, WT areas, medals, and several other new additions, high levels will never be able to benefit from them directly. There is no retroactive way to get PQ rewards on a 4th job character that missed said PQ, or in the case of Ludibrium PQ, missed the addition of the glasses. High leveled content is open to everyone, because everyone can eventually get to a high level on their character. Low level content is not, because Nexon refuses to add a way to access it later on. We could really use an event where PQs are open to all levels through an event NPC in order to allow high levels a chance at the reward and PQ completion for the medal. Events with monster slaying PQs where monsters are set to be 5 levels higher than you can help for the monster slaying medal. Basically, give a nod to high level players that all the new things that low levels can enjoy aren't a big "screw you" to everyone else.
