I haven't read any of the other comments yet, so I don't know if this has already been addressed. But, I kind of am having a tough time finding areas to explore that are worth the reward in the mid levels.

What I mean by this as I am looking for areas that offer good explore/obs exp but aren't rolling the dice on whether or not you'll survive it. Maybe I just don't have the right idea on exploring but I keep getting frustrated when I run a low character through a higher level area and come back and get zilch.

I know that explore exp is partially based on the risk the character takes. It seems to me that most aggressive mobs that add risk to an area kick the #### out of mid level characters pretty quickly.
