I rarely pay much attention to suggested levels, and for one love the fact that for once there's actually MORE danger at higher level than lower. I think for once it's good to make it mean something.

You obviously found this post, where he gives warning. It also seems to be posted on the area introduction. You're going to complain that YOU didn't read the warnings in the area? May as well complain about Certain Death in the strange island.

Personally, I look forward to having a character of appropriate level. Just because it doesn't fit your Hack-N-Slash plan of exploring it, doesn't mean it's wrong. You probably hated the Silent Tower, too.

(Don't worry, I hated the Silent Tower, too, cuz I could never figure it out.)
