Gating XP and progress behind RNG

Doing higher level maps whenever you want means that people will level faster, reach lvl 100 faster, beat the game faster, quit the game faster.

100% wrong.
1. If ARPG game is interesting, then after completing the game (reaching max level, killing endboss, etc, etc) with ONE character, i will want to try it with another character/build.
And if ARPG game is boring, then i will quit it even before that. I quited PoE at 88 level of my main character, because it's too boring, however, i ran Titan Quest, Sacred 2 and some other games several times, again and again, even after "completing" them.
2. As far as i know, GGG means "grinding GEAR games", not "grinding experience games". I dont understand your obsession with level - past 85 level it gives very minor benefit. Gear is what really determines you character's strength. Even level 75 character, equipped with most powerful items, will easily outperform level 100 character, equipped in bad gear set.

However GGG decided to allow maps to go to lvl 78, this is only to give very motivated players additional challenges. You aren't meant to do high level maps whenever you want in the current state of the game or else GGG would have increased map dops rates already.

GGG may think anything they want, the players are those who will judge them. And as far as i know, the majority of players (aside for trolls like you) doesnt like that decision.
