Well I am having trouble. I can't kill the Manaan boss before the time runs out. And I wouldn't be having said trouble if BioWare let me be the level I bloody well earned, because I get pretty close to killing him before the timer runs.
There's no good reason why the level cap should affect players not in groups/guilds or whatever, and those who like to play solo, like me, shouldn't have to have our entire progress made irrelevant.
