Maybe I just leveled like a derp or wasn't able to focus on flagging when the core of people were doing it, but I'm 55 and still not even Kunark flagged. Hell, my BST was almost 58 by the time he got Kunark flagged. Having to reroll certainly didn't help matters, but I still feel like 54+ turns into a crawl if you can't use Velious/Kunark zones for EXP. Stuff like VP/NToV/VT/etc. requiring flags makes sense, but I don't see what the hell making OS, Karnor's, Chardok, etc. require a flag really accomplishes. 90% of the loot dropped in those zones is fucking tradeable anyways, even the stuff from the raid targets.
