I found it in my phone's gallery, probably from Reddit.

Two cats representing different types of Dark Souls 2 players: a black cat on the left side of the image looks straight at the viewer with a neutral expression, giving a negative review to the game: "1 out of 5, the game is BAD because bla bla bla". A cat to the right side looks silly, with a propeller hat and a lollypop, giving a positive review to DS2: "5 out of 5, it was a lot of fun." There is an horde of knights behind the cat.

no level matching for multiplayer

enemies stop respawning after X number of kills

IMO these are downsides.

    I can actually invade some level 300 dude on a level 1 character and show them what real strength is.

    If you wanna farm enemies, this feature forces you into using the bonfire ascetic items to continue killing the same dude forever. Which also makes them give more souls each NG+ cycle you increase the area to up the 7th time. If you're trying to get a drop: Trust me, not one thing a random enemy drops is actually worth the time.

    You don't need to use Bonfire Ascetics to endlessly farm enemies. You can join the Company of Champions covenant. This covenant prevents enemies from despawning (and buffs them).

    Going into higher NG cycles or using Bonfire Ascetics is still beneficial when farming since, with higher Bonfire Intensity, drop rates increase.
