I didn't propose outlawing powerleveling; I proposed capping PBAOE spells at ~20 NPCs. These are not the same thing at all.

Monks, Necros, SKs, Druids, Shamans, Enchanters, Clerics, etc could all still powerlevel just fine. Even Bards if they were using Charm (Zanderr used to do this at low levels IIRC).

Meanwhile, aside from Chardok capping PABOE spells at ~20 has plenty of other beneficial effects: the Plane of Fear can no longer be nuked down in 10-15 minutes, Bards aren't constantly monopolizing outdoor zones, etc.

The reality is that no one could do these things anyway in classic due to hardware limitations. And considering how incredibly pernicious they are, I think the devs should be jumping on any excuse to nerf them.
