Would there be some sort of cut off. For example I dont see that you could take a lvl 19 toon that hasn't ran waterworks on elite then go off and do something else and have it stack. or has that already been covered?
I think that's exactly what you could do.
Leaving TR's for a minute. It reads like one could create a new vet character and skip Korthos/Harbor/maybe most of Market. Then level, fast with this new bonus or slow without, up to Vale'ish range. Maybe even 17-18. Go back to Korthos and bang out 5 rediculously easy elite quests, go back to the Vale, and cap while flagging for Shroud.
I'm more concerned with how it's going to effect DQ1/Titan Pre-Raid. Both raids easy to start running real early. Both with *pre*raids usually run on casual or norm and continued to be run well into the no xp for over level range.
I also see it being a bit of a headache for a few quests. Who's going to want to run Shadow Crypt, Wizking, Von 3 or 5 if their bravery bonus isn't stacked.
All and all I think I like it. Need to see it in action first. Particularly with a line in the release notes about monsters toughening up after fighting players so much. Elite might really, REALLY, be worth the massive bonus.
If elite's still real easy though I think it's going to end up an easy button. Save a few easy quests to elite later before hitting vale/refuge and cap your TRs before Amrath. If that's how it ends up I'd rather they just shift much of the xp needed to TR to below lvl14 where the content is.
