I am playing this game solo.
I think I am going to get a lot of exp from the DLC quests in Normal. So I can reach level 72.
Is this a good idea?

Sign up to join this communityNo, you cannot reach level 72 without True or Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. On a normal playthrough, your level is capped at 50.
You will not be able to get higher than level 50 until you attempt playthroughs 2 or 3. Your second playthrough (New Game+, essentially) will raise your level cap by 11, to 61. Your third playthrough (New Game++) will raise your level cap by another 11, to a maximum level of 72.
Thus, without playing True or Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, you cannot get above level 50.
See this Q&A for more detailed info about how subsequent playthroughs work.
is true after level 50 your advance will be slowed down drastically if you will not start UVHM but once you start it you can level up very quick just only farming savage lee idk, Gentle in the dust for Lyuda so is not necessary to complete UVHM for levelling to 72 but only to start it and your levelling speed will back to normal . start UVHM doing first missions and level up quickly farming ,then you good to go in Digistruct peack without UVHM finished , doing the UVHM story line at which OP you want for updating your gear with the proper OP level rewards
