Hey there, thanks for typing this up. Wanted to point out a few things!
We are currently working on the next zone and Wayfinder which will be designed for 31+. The content that is in the game now is not the final content players will see in 1.0. As such, scaling everything to what is essentially not the "end" of the game doesn't make a ton of sense at this point. We'll be doing that post 1.0 with mythic expeditions and open world areas scaling to 30+. We shared more info during our AMA which you can find here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayWayfinder/comments/1di0gv6/ama_with_the_wayfinder_team_wednesday_619_2pm_ct/
