Outlaw Powerleveling

[filthyphil]

Lmao Tecmos why are you so intent on debunking this? And you ARE NOT READING, or you would have seen where I wrote he agreed to the to the allowance of the two mobs to myself before deciding to completely take the camp over. & you are looking at this from the stand point of he was another group of like level players or even a solo competitor for the spawn. The guy is lvl 58, at a camp of lvl 34 mobs. How do I out aggro that? He showed up after the fact, & forced me out in order to power level someone too lazy to level their own toon.

Lol.

This thread is just full of a couple people complaining about PL and "this is what ruined live! raise your pitchforks!" and accusations of rulebreaking without anyone actually showing that a rule was even broken.

So what if the guy was an ass? Lots of people are asses, but there is certainly no rule against that.

Holy after making my post I just read yours and I have to STRONGLY disagree man. If they allow two boxing the server is over. At least the server economy is over.

Every halfway good platinum generating camp can now officially be Duo'd.

If you don't believe me check out the solo artists challenge where people have already duo'd such mobs as the Sebelite Protector - hits for 451 and can wipe out a small raid of 2-3 groups if things go bad.

Fungi king would be farmed 24/7 by someone boxing. So would crypt. So would HS South, East, West - hell probably even North.

Good luck finding somewhere to group or people motivated to group with when damn near every decent camp is taken by a person boxing.
Also have fun with your ruined economy when there is a massive influx of farmed items into the market to the point a heiro cloak is sitting at 5k and a fungi at 15k.

So hanging out with another person you know, whom also has super awesome level 60 and camps Crypt with you, is different than you camping it as a duo by yourself?

The boxing then isn't the problem, the root issue is that the camps are doable by only two people.

If you're making the argument that boxing makes the process easier, then that's equally as weak because one person trying to play two characters in a situation that's difficult, is NOT as easy as doing it with someone else.

As for the economy, what's wrong with lower prices? A Fungi at 15k? Awesome, and good for them. It means that eventually people will STOP camping it, because it's not worth their time, which means there won't be any people interfering in innocent XP groups' camps. And 15k isn't that easy to come by, unless you have gifts from friends. So even at 15k, a Fungi would still elude most players until level 30 or 40+ meaning they aren't having too easy of a time ( Fungi is not that super, it's still easy to die. If the mob was going to kick your ass before without a Fungi, it'll still kick your ass with one).

Having said that, again this is not because of boxing, it's because of greed and imbalance in the game.

Face it, the majority of people whom would box, do it only to res/port themselves and their friends - it's purely about convenience.

Um Wow. FD wipes aggro and you have a level 1 enchanter getting xp off a level 40ish spectre? ROFL not classic. P99 promulgates itself as a EQ 1999 experience, but it is far from that; and should stop misrepresenting itself because you are wasting peoples' time.

[Snagglepuss]

The OP comments about 15k Fungi's reminds me of some political pundit 15 years ago saying, "Cheaper goods are better! Why pay more for things when they can be made cheaper over seas!?" Someone who can box and produce more unique items cheaper must be more efficient for our p1999 economy, right?

...except that efficiency is what polarizes game wealth.

I'm trying to be nice here... but it's hard.

Very difficult for you, apparently.

Well my point, BigSlip, is that leveling a new character on level 40ish mobs is not classic.

Are you saying that a level 40 (actually specs are like 33-37) mob wouldn't give xp to a level 1? Also, I find it pretty unlikely that there was actually a level 1 enchanter at specs. I was actually /anon and being PLed by a 58 necro on my enchanter at specs about the time this thread popped up, but I was like 16 at the time, not 1. And I still died once [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Where was I? Oh. Right. Are you saying a 1 wouldn't get xp from high-level mobs, or that there was a cap on the amount of xp earned from a single kill? Not like it really matters, because by the time a character got to the upper teens, a single spectre wouldn't be giving more than like 15-20% per kill anyway... which is probably under whatever the cap was.


And yes, it is hard for me to be nice to you. You think no one can PL but druids, you complain about twinks and PL and server resets and MQing, you keep making the stupidest threads imaginable... yeah.
