Leveling Backwards - 61+ stats effectiveness decrease

So I know at 61 the new curve kicks in and I expect a drop there (bad idea). But why do you get worse every time you level? Screenshots as evidence. Crit, .6% decrease for lvling from 62 to 63. In the second image you can see recharge speed, AP gain and resistances dropping also.

Did our heros break a hip at 60? Are they over the hill? They peaked and in their old age are doomed to get worse and worse? This is absurd. Why would I want to get worse for every level. Its a punishment.

    Yeah so nerf us at 61 and let us grow again. The monsters get harder every level. The campaigns are harder, the dungeons near impossible. And I'm going backwards.

    It only gets worse. Every single level, your stats grow worse and worse. I'm at 68 and it's just getting pathetic. Whoever thinks this is fun has something wrong with him.

    If the gear is supposed to outpace it. Where is the gear? Where are the drake and unicorn seal vendors? I can't grind 70 content for better gear with no blues. I can't get it from campaigns. Haven't seen anything in the new zone.

    edit: heh, not sure doxing the devs is a good idea.

    I noticed today how the stats and %'s changed. Mod 5 i had 10k power with a 60% damage bonus on my GWF. Now in mod 6 at level 70 i have 15.7k power and my damage bonus is only 40%.

    Same thing with my defense. I have more of a defense stat now then ever before. I have 4226 defense and only a 22% DR. Last mod i had 40% DR with no where near 4200 defense.

    While leveling even with the reduced %'s still seems ok. Monsters hit a lot harder now and it kinda seems cryptic went a little to far but it's fun and a decent challenge now. The new MH and OH are cool. The new gear itself i haven't tried. Still have the avatar of war set with a Item level of 2479. Since there is no set bonus now i guess you can really customize your stats and you wont see everyone in the same gear all the time.
