Well that is kind of disappointing to hear. I really can't fathom why you would design a game with mountains of side quests and exploration content like Diablo 4 has, and then level cap enemies at 50 while letting players level up past 50 on the initial playthrough, cheating the many RPG players who like to do alot of side content alongside the main story content out of the valuable XP curve from higher level enemies. This means that a player who choses to do side content after finishing the main story will level up faster than one who likes to do all side content before finishing the main story (which is usually what I do in open world games). 

Yep, it hit me the same way.  I read about it when I was a level 39 and started adjusting the way I was playing from there.  I think the side dungeons and side quests may be good for the additional character designs for new play-throughs and skipping the story part and doing the sides instead?  But, yeah it could of been nicer with a different leveling up system.  

I do not know but I am at level 68 and the world bosses can still one shot you.  Also at level 68, the 4th tier opens up and going through that dungeon I probably died more there then I have throughout the whole game.  I highly doubt you will be OP in Tier 3 because just the nightmare dungeons you can come across multiple enemies that can put you to sleep with one or two hits.  

Before I beat the game, I was almost level 60 because I did pretty much every side quest I came across until none showed up on the board anymore.  You really do not gain that much experience in Tier 2 and you only really get to customize your build when you unlock the Paragon board at tier 3.  Even then, you need to farm for unique equipment in order to really get your build powerful enough to even touch Tier 4 unless you are super grinding all the time.  Even after you finish the game there is still a lot of quest that do not open up until you beat the game and then there is all the end game content to muscle through.  I think I have had more fun in the end game then I did during the main quest line.
