I'm loving all the new high level areas but I'm not so keen on having to traipse through multiple low level areas to get to them.
If I clear up all the spawns then I feel a bit pointless fighting creatures way beneath my CR. If I invis/greater sanctuary and leave the spawns then until the area cleaner gets them they are likely to trounce any low level type who wanders into the area after me.
If I come across a low level party whilst passing through an area what do I do? For example if my high level party is heading to the new bugbear cave and a low level party is heading to the hill goblins. That's the same route for 10 maps!
If the high level party wants to get on and leave the low levels to their thing it's very diffcult as killing all the spawns ahead of the low levels will p*ss them off, leaving all the spawns will overwhelm them. The two parties may not even be aware of each other so RP between them may not come into it.
It's not a big issue now but when/if we do start getting an increased player base then I can see it causing problems.
The simplest solution to this that I can see is adding more teleporter locations, perhaps allowing OOC porting to more campsites like on the isle. This way at least higher level PCs have the option of leaving the lower levels to it, and those of us with higher level PCs but limited amounts of time get to do something more challenging before having to log off.
