Pvp level limit discussion

[kildone]

It seems a no brainier why a server should limit the levels for Pvp. However I have been thinking about it. I was curious what others thoughts were.

I met a guy today who killed me. Which I am happy about by the way. The problem is that he resisted everything so as a caster I'm pretty much useless. I also had cr spells up to help someone get their corpse and the guy who killed me had plenty of pumice stones so escape was not an option.

So I don't mind dying but it would be nice if I could get some levels and be able to maybe one day get revenge. I know this guy will never level cause that's his game. At least one guy in my guild does the same.

However level restrictions prevent this. As well as protects my said guild member.

Then there is the oor druid he had helping him to port him around and sow heal. So I don't know his level but say he's 45. If I had friends who were level 60 they wouldnt be able to help with said druid.

Also I heard someone talking about how they planned to get a char to lvl 20, max skills and de level to 16 and terrorize gfay.

The more I learn in this server the more it seems that level limits don't seem to help and actually provide means to circumvent the rules and make it easier to do what some call grief. Hence making the level limits pointless if not harmful.

So please help enlighten me. Do you think the level limits do more harm than good and why.

they do more good. because instead of getting griefed by a lvl 20 fungi twink in crushbone, youd be getting griefed by lvl 60s in VP gear in crushbone

Right now if a 60 with VP gear wants, he can create a 20 fungi twink to slaughter in Crushbone.

That is the problem. The level 60 is a douchbag but no one knows who he is.

Now If I want to help my level 20 friend getting killed in Crushbone, I need to level a character up to 20 and twink him out with a bunch of gear(taking away from my other level 60) just to help out my buddy.

The real way to solve this problem is to level the playing field.

Let the 60 with VP gear harass the level 20s except now, someone who wants to help him can take their level 60 and come help out.

You cant stop the 60 in VP gear from being a douche, but you can enable it so that when he is a douche, he isnt protected by level brackets.

If you had a 20-60 pvp bracket, no one would have level 20 twinks or alts to grief because they would all use their 60s.

Then at least people would know what level 60 is being a dochebag to low levels because they would earn a bad reputation for doing it.

It also promotes low level players to join with people so they get pals to help protect them.

I don't have much experience with Pvp in EQ, so if you equate a lack of education with stupidity, then you are correct.

I am just seeking enlightenment and a good discussion.

Those lvl 60 with VP gear just make a 20 fungi twink for crushbone. With level limit there is no chance for a group of folks with only level 60 to fight back.

I think a large enough group of non VP lvl 60 could beat the VP 60s. There are way more folks who would like to kill the people causing grief in CB. That's been my experience on the server anyways. This would be a rallying point for possible large scale lvl 60 Pvp battles in CB.

So the level limit serves only to protect the twinks who cause the grief correct?

please never say the words "I Think" Ever again, since you are stupid they mean nothing

If level limit was removed I would park my vp geared 60 Rogue and grief until the server exploded.

I would ooc 'One Shot!' after every noob in rags I slay and make PvP vids with hardcore dubstep.
