It shouldn't have to. If you're going to camp North Aerio 001 or any of the higher numbered blocks, and stand around on the ruins where everyone else is level 20, and then a lvl 24 purple blob spawns that tells you your level gap is too high your damage is nerfed it should be pretty obvious that you shouldn't be there and should instead be idling in Vanford for free exp and drops.
Also the game isn't going to tell you that you are guaranteed PSE bursts during a thunderstorm, which is time better spent if you are under level 20.
