Is it essential to play these maps with the monster adjustment mod? Not to be rude, but I *really* dislike that style of gameplay. It makes me feel as if my character never gets any stronger or more powerful and turns a fun experience into an annoying and frustrating one.
Although not essential, it is very useful when your party is at a very low level since most if not all of the monsters will be close to your level. When my party or character is below level 30 I leave the mod on. Just so I do not get killed as often. For higher levels you can turn it off or on depending on what you are doing. When I am quickly testing a map with a high level party I turn it off just so I can move quicker. On the other hand I leave it on, when I am playing a game since the monsters tend to be close to your party's average rating. As an example if my party is made up of level 90 archers and mages I get to fight monsters between 80 and 100 a bit of fair play really.
