It's a huge stretch for a level 60 to self cast that, but she can. Because the previous reward for the Schoel Yutto quest was Greater Nanobot Shelter, there was very little reason to even want it at any level. However, now the reward is Notum Overflow Injector, which is very tempting. The problem is, the quest is level locked, and Greedy Shade sells them as NODROP.
So, this extremely useful nano is impossible for her to get. The easiest solution is simply allow anyone without garden keys to buy quest nanos from Greedy Shade. The problem I have with that, is from a perspective of fairness. I would do the quest for it if I could, so I don't see why I should be forced to even pay for it. Is there a problem with removing level locks from some quests and allow quest nanos, specifically, to be bought without all the garden keys?
The way I see AO, in general, is a game with few limits, and players willing to go to every extreme should be able to do so. We have level 1's with Burden of Competence in social, even. Obviously, some things need level locks, but there are a few things that can lose their level locks to stay true to the idea that attracts us to this game. At least from an NT's perspective, this particular lock is a bit high, and I personally would like the ability to do the quest for my level 60, as difficult as it would be.
