Toons for Sale?

[Tippett]

This is my 1st post, I am a very new player (have been playing for 2 weeks) and everything has been fine. But today I noticed some strange goings on in unrest, a friend and myself were attempting to level in the unrest "yard" area and there were NO mobs at all. My friend commented that this was very strange considering there was under 10 people in said zone. after a bit of walking around we noticed a nude lvl 11 rogue (well not nude they had some cheap scimitar) being PL'd by some 50 CLE. What made it strange to me was that they were taking EVERY mob, like there was a very high sense of urgency in that PL'ing. Attempted /tell to ask if they could leave a portion of the yard open for some lower lvl toons... no reply. I honestly believe this was an example of toon building directly effecting my ability to progress in the game, ( Nro and WC areas are just overpopulated so I was trying to find a different area). There is no way I can prove this was toon building and not just normal PL'ing, but the nude toon being PL'd as well as the lack of responses ( I was being polite as well, not confrontational) made me very suspicious. Im not pissed or anything (just left Unrest) just read alot of people saying if toon building isn't effecting other players it's no ones business to care about it. (Those 2 toons effectively shut down that whole low leveling area)

This obviously is a GM enforced program. You can not name a character with 3 letters. They had someone change it.... my thoughts is that Bob is either a GM, or has really good ties to a GM.

No problem, though. This is obviously a very safe thing to do, then. I don't care if it's being done. I think a lot of people are liquidating their 'extra' characters now that Kunark is coming out, and building up a bank for twinkage of their Iksars.

Bob is just a middleman. It is someone else that is doing the PLing and going through Bob for the sales.

No GM program here sir =)

My name was originally Bobthe, however Mixxit went on a name changing spree due to policy violations and I made the cut. I logged back in after going to sleep to see my name was Bob. Worked out nicely for me I think!

Regarding PL teams taking over low lvl zones while PLing:

You will only see amateurs doing this, it is far too slow for anyone trying to make money off power leveling to waste their time there.

From lvl 13 and on a good PLer shouldn't be anywhere but Lguk/SolB/Kedge. It's not about killing shit tons of mobs..its about killing mobs WAY over the toons lvl that you are PLing. Why kill 200 mobs in unrest for a lvl when you can kill 15 in Lguk.

I totally agree that a lvl 50 coming in a taking over unrest or some other zone to PL is frustrating and unfair. However, like I said the people you will see doing this is a buddy pling another buddy etc.

And before you say what about all those poor xp groups in lguk! Live side is all but dead except for the loot camps and dead isn't much better.
