^ So basically you think only half of the problem should be fixed? Because of Soul memory a level 80 can be forced to fight off a level 300. Soul Memory records every amount of souls gathered. That means souls lost. So if you get a new player who is dying alot, he/she can end up with a high soul memory. Heck, in my first playthrough my Soul Memory built up so fast I was able to skip Freja and the Rotten and head straight for Castle Drangleic. The fact of the matter is that Soul Memory doesn't work. If I had to fix it, I would make invasions determined by SL and Co-op not affected by anything.
