It is pretty stupid that if you want to stay at a certain level and fight similar levels you can't do that forever because you can get a lot of souls quickly from other players.

It wouldn't be so bad if the game was more balanced at high levels. At lower levels if you want super powerful spells you need to sacrifice other things, same if you want heavy armor. But because SM has encouraged people to level up to infinity (including me), everyone can wear heavy armor and use whatever they want with no drawbacks. Especially since armor is OP in this game and makes fast hitting, low damage weapons completely useless.

It isn't just bad for people restricting their level fighting higher levels. As a higher level I don't like fighting lower levels because they usually suck and die in 2-3 hits and it's way too easy. People that say that low levels can beat high levels with enough skill must only fight high levels that really suck.

People also can't do co-op in one area a lot if they want because it will stuff their SM up.

As for the twinking problem, with no Red Eye Orb, just cracked ones that can only be bought in NG+, it would not happen much anyway.

Cosmic, you have the MM right? And this lets you change your SM, doesn't it?
