Ghost stories bugged, or supposed to be level 70 overkill?

Its really weird, If I go to Neverdeath for Tyranny of dragons, it lowers me to level 30 for the dragon and raises me to level 70 for ghost stories. Its impossible alone with a newly christened Paladin, no trouble anywhere else so far. Took a couple guildies along and we all got wiped out :)

Just a heads up guys, not sure if this is intentional or not.

cheers
Ello

    It seems to be deliberate, as the other Harper dungeons (like barrow demolition) are the same. The bug ghost stories had (might be fixed, haven't bothered to try recently) is that the last crypt had 70+ mobs but was dropping players back to normal. No way to win that until you reach 70 yourself.

    Yup - my Paladin is now 63, finally got Ghost Stories. Attempted. Epic Fail. Gave-up. This is stupid. I'll wait until I hit level 70 and gear up before I even think about giving it another go. They need to fix it so that Ghost Stories quest isn't even offered until one reaches level 68-ish because it's just plain undoable until then. Well, it is for masochists, I suppose.

    I admit I haven't tried Ghost Stories, because I read that the last section was bugged -- mobs were lvl 70, but you were no longer auto-leveled up to 70. I just skip Common Cause on Neverdeath days.

    I have done the other lairs on the one character still grinding ToD boons. I just ask in /zone or /lfg (in the proper zone) for people to run the lair with - or join someone who has already requested a group in chat.

    Even just one other person makes the lairs perfectly doable. In fact, my character has soloed Barrow Demolition (she's CW, but a weird non-minmaxed build) with a little extra effort, but grouping speeds things up.

    Don't be afraid to ask for help in /zone or /lfg: there are plenty of people in the same situation.

    Ghost Stories has always been farmed, for the same reason Arcane Reservoir in Sharandar is farmed. Mob difficulty makes almost no difference for this exploit.

    That's got nothing to do with the ability of given toon to meet the challenge. And moving your guy "up to 70" doesn't really move them up to 70. A level 69 moved up to 70 is significantly more powerful than a 60 to 70. This begs the question as to whether or not Arc invests much into quality assurance. This is still a devastating mission that stops anyone lower than 67 accomplishing a campaign available to you at level 26.

    The areas that change your level it will change your stats
    but it won't change your equipment stats to match the level area.
    So your a level 70 character wearing level 30 equipment against
    level 70 monsters.

    brought this up once a while back but everyone thought
    i was just being a noob.

    Just turn on zone chat and get into a group for Ghost Stories, or any of the other ToD lair quests.

    "/zone lfm GS" should get you multiple responses very quickly.
