You probably wouldn't buy a new home every level. So you either go back however many levels to your house, or rent an inn room every night for money.
Ah, I see. The episode makes a lot more sense now. So, even though the top players are at least on the 70s, floor-wise (last episode, it was stated they were at least), everyone hangs out in the 50s, because that's where the masses are, and presumably the floor bosses respawn, thus the top players need to return and kill them over and over again to help out the lower level players?

Ok, I'm actually still a little confused, since we just had an episode that had several primary purposes, one of which was to highlight how overleveling can making things easy, yet Asuna is acting like clearing this floor in the 50s is hard work, despite us knowing that at least in the last episode, the top players are already 3/4th of their way up the tower.

Gah, my head hurts.

Unless what players like Asuna are doing are just organizing and lending advice, while letting the level appropriate players handle clearing the dungeons and the floor boss?

It feels like years since they've been updated, btw.
Also, cake.
