While I agree that there are definitely a ton of pl'ers on P99, I don't think you can make rules against powerleveling. It is a part of the game, and while it can be obnoxious at times, it is always going to be around.
Alot of you have said that if there is someone PL'ing in a zone and they decide to pull all/most of the zone that you can /petition and get it taken care of. is this true? I've had it happen on multiple occasions, including times when my party was already established at a camp when some high level player came through and started pulling everything, and we weren't sure what to do. I remember on live that it was recommended you 'take care of it yourself' because if a guide came with a solution you may not like what they decide, but on this server should we be /petition'ing when smething like this happens? And if my party was there at a camp first and someone started pulling from it, is a decision going to be made in our favor?
Just the other day we were killing in a zone, had a camp set up, were pulling reliably from it with no problems when all of a sudden another player showed up and started pulling mobs from us. He basically told us to eat shit, that he wasn't going to leave, and that if we bugged him about it and/or stole mobs from "his camp" that he would pull even more mobs from our camp. Should we have petitioned for a gm? Again, we weren't sure what to do. I know what the server rules are, but I wasn't sure if we should be bothering a gm for something that I thought should have been possible to deal with on our own (even though it wasnt)
Sorry that this post kind of rambled on, im really tired and didnt think it through very well.
Tl;dr Pl'ing can suck but its for sure a part of the classic experience, people have always PL'd in eq. Also, is it ok to petition a gm when *any* player comes and tries to steal a camp from you? IE. they start pulling mobs from a camp you were already at, or a high lvl player comes and starts pulling everything. thanks in advance!
