Then just use lower level weapons/shields and gimp yourself.

That takes the fun out of finding more powerful gear, which is one of the major draws of BL3.

Yes, I want to lower my legit gained character level.

Well the EXP resets too. It won't be saved when you lower it. I currently don't see way to lower the character level.

So what's the difference between raising the level and having it stay permanently vs lowering the level and having it stay permanently?

The trainer can raise the level permanently so it seems like it should be possible to lower the level permanently.

So, you can age in real life and it stays permanently so why can't you un-age and have it stay permanently?

Just because you THINK or WANT something should work a certain way does not mean that it will. If 0x90 says that it's not possible then it's not. Drop it.

I'm sorry, I didn't think I was causing a problem or being rude as I was just curious on why it worked one way and not the other.

I'll drop this question as you requested and not make any further comments on this topic.

Your rational is to make it more difficult for yourself correct?

I think if you went through the game normally through the story, it will organically provide some challenge along the way. Now, if you start looking at builds online, or what to do to make yourself more powerful -- then that's self-inflicted.

When you finish the game, in addition to Vault Hunter Mode -- you will be able to use Mayhem Modes. This modes have 3 difficulties, Mayhem 1 to 3. Let me tell you, these levels are VERY hard.

If you are having regrets or made a mistake on leveling your character, you can save a file copy of your save before doing anything to your original save -- so if something happens, you can copy back your original save.
