I feel like if you can go to a lesser populated zone you should by default anyway because you won't have as many contested spawns.

I really feel this falls into the realm of courtesy. But technically powerlevellers have just as much right to the zone as you do.

High levels farming green mobs for loot could also be said to fall under the same realm when someone else could get XP killing the same creature.

As is with every post about should or shouldn't, the answer is always "you can, just don't be a dick" whenever I was in a built up zone like unrest or MM and there was a PLer, they would always invite others to join in, it makes it way more fun and you are helping the community, I remember when I would PL guildies, we would end up with a full group in seconds and pretty much just clear the camp and have a chat :P

everyone can play nice, if you really want to zerg PL, then go to another zone, because if you interrupt others then you are gonna have a bad time.

But if a PLer did this, people would flip out and petition like crazy. When really, there is no difference at all. It is a camp (in this case 5 camps, counting ass/sup as 1) and it should be treated the same no matter who is camping it.

That being said, I hate it when a spot it taken by a PLer, but they have just as much of a right to be there as I do.

I cannot stand Donald Trump for many reasons, one of which is what he recently said about Mexicans, but he has every right to say it.
The difference is power leveling is done for the benefit for 1 player and not 4. Also, the power leveling duo (which is how it is usually done), is presumed to have a lot more resources, game knowledge, and --most importantly -- options.

Edit: I used to run with a static group in LGuk...and we still got people harassing us/trying to steal the frenzied camp. So I'm not so sure if it has much to do with PLing.

I have met people on this server that came here with a 60 friend that PLed them and got them into a raiding guild....honestly those people don't wtf their talking about it when discussing leveling etiquette. Anyone else should know better than defend this duchebag practice.
It's not even like you cant go to unrest....just don't do it prime PST/EST..especially not friday/sat night like I've seen.

I look at PL as one of those stupid classic mechanics that this server is too nostalgic to get rid of. Along with hybrid penalties, lack of a bazaar, and "multi-questing" (the real reason the raid scene was garbage).
