Oh and this "dynamic range" nonsense needs to go. I give you full marks for spotting the obvious problem with a +/- N levels system, but realize that all you are doing is replacing one type of griefing (dragging around an out-of-range healer) with another: dragging around a level-appropriate alt to sucker people in a low-level zone into attacking (really, just responding to being attacked) and then suffering xp loss at the hands of someone 16+ levels higher.
Lets be honest: no matter what system you adopt, there will be griefing. But, in both the OOR healer and the tag-along-lowbie cases I spell out above, its the XP loss that makes the griefing particularly onerous.
So how about you adopt a system that removes the possibility of XP loss from someone 16+ levels higher than you, and lets you kill anyone who heals your target, full stop:
- FFA, no level limit to engage.
- XP loss within a level band, say +/- 5.
Oh hi Sullon Zek rules, I didn't see you there!
Say it with me folks: XP loss from unattackable healers is
bullshit. XP loss from people 16+ levels higher than me is
bullshit.
I am the 99%
