Poor joe schmoe hasnt played sto in ages decides to crank up his lvl 9 and frag some klinks, see's a little red ball and wants to join in on the action.He is promptly greeted with the sight of his ship blowing to smitherings.What the heck hits respawn....BOOM! Lvl 51 greeters are getting out of hand, I know why they are there,spawn at your lvl,prob is the lvl 51 guy who wanted to show off his ride and decides to split.Mr lvl 7 cant contend with that.Seems with all these gig patches they could adjust it a little by zone.
They are looking to revamp DSEs completely, in Season 4 I believe. I wouldn't count on a fix before then unfortunately. The current workaround is to change instances until you find one at the appropriate level or if the VA is gone to wait it out until new enemies respawn at your level. Not what you want to hear I'm sure, but it's all we can do at the moment.
It sucks I know because the low level Klingon DSEs are righ there close to ESD and a lot of VAs are two lasy to go to Gamma Orionis to test there builds there. That, and they just want to instakill from time to time and bolt when the mobs level up to them.
to be fair, VA's have every right to hunt for accolades as any other rank. They do set those accolades hurdles insanely high.
Aye. While I personally have barely worked on these accolades...chances are that a lvl 51 in a DSE is not there to show off their ship or test skills. They are most likely there working on accolades...blame STO for over doing it with the accolades. Certainly some very few will go in there to comport with RynoHawk's opinion, but usually it is will just be lower lvls projecting false emotions as to why they are there.
I may be alone in this opinion...but if i had it my way DSEs and clusters would never have had accolades in them...but more power to you if you want to run Delta Volanis a million times lol. Granted my opinion is colored by the fact that all my toons created before accolades for them were added were long capped...so going backward was less than interesting.
Assuming the higher level Captain who spawned the DSE has departed, just leave the DSE so that the orange ball ceases. Resetting the DSE. It's been my experience that If so much as one lower-level Captain keeps the DSE open, it continues to spawn enemies at the higher level.
I must admit as an RA, if I do join in on combat at lower levels around Sirius or Regulus, I make it a point of making sure I stick around to help the lower levels in the instance. If they are going to suffer because a level 40-something comes in to play and forces up the level of the opposition, the least I feel I can do is help them deal with them!
I actually feel bad if I sweep in, blow up ten squadrons and then bugger off leaving the Lieutenants to deal with my mess.

When you have a VA player in a LT DSE, creating VA enemy ships, the LT player dies really, really fast. In short, the VA is there for their own gain at the expense of other players. THAT, is called griefing by most standards.
Most of these VA players are selfish about it too. You ask them to leave, and they get defensive and whiny.
Especially since the accolades do what? In most cases a 2% damage bonus. Except for the Klingon ones, theyre essentially useless except to those people trying to accomplish absolutely everything. And I got my 2% bonus vs Klinks just from doing the missions and DSE's at the levels theyre actually designed for.

There are also accolades specifically for doing a specific DSE or Exploration Cluster a certain number of times, they aren't talking about the kill x number of x specifically - though that can be an element of it.
One thing you can try is when you see these VA characters invite them to team with you. That way (if they accept) they can match your level and no higher level mobs spawn. Not all of them will accept of course, but as has been said before the DSEs are going away entirely before too long.
