I don't have a problem with powerleveling. Never did on live either. I know some people like to play this game a certain way, and people are fine with that, so why is it not okay for someone else to play the game the way they want too?

If this is what they want and that's how they want to go about it then by all means let them. I didn't vote because your options are very one sided. I don't think "everyone should do it" like you say but I am just fine if anyone does it.

I do hope that they realize while they are powerleveling that there is certain zones that are packed. I don't think a person powerleveling should use MM for it. As long as they aren't gobbling up all the mobs people are trying to get. There are tons of places to p-level someone, use one that isn't a high trafficked area for those leveling the old fashioned way.

Thanks for getting in the conversation [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Just want to point out that you seem to be somewhat conflicted on what you are trying to say... Allow me to point out:

You start out by saying you are OK with PLing, then justify your position by stating that they should "be able to play the game they way they want" .. BUT...

Then, you state that PLers should realize that (the way they want to play) in crowded zones could "gobble up all the mobs". So in turn means they are now preventing someone else from playing the game, the way they want...

So Picked, it would seem your opinion should be, "I think PLing is OK, but should be restricted in a way" Is that correct? (I only seek clarity to understand your argument)

Thanks! (Btw if that is your position, there is a spot to vote that opinion)

I was just pointing out that the concept of power leveling doesn't bother me. But training people in MM to get more mobs does. I have exp'd 2 different characters to 50+ so far and inevitably I run into PL'ers fairly often. And it always turns ugly. A group is trying to kill some mobs and exp at a camp and the power leveling crew comes in, pulls everything, and if that isn't enough sometimes train to get more mobs.

I guess in a nutshell I am fine with power leveling. As long as they remain true to the rules of the server like training, and exploiting.

Don't mind so long as they don't interfere with non-plers.

Was at the giant fort in WW a few days ago when some monk tells me 'you're gonna have a hard time here bro'

I ask why and he says cuz he's taking all mobs for PL. Clearly he didn't care for anyone else but luckily I cared neither as I was chillin taking a few mobs now and then whilst readin and doing other RL shit.

Mind you even then there are sometimes advantages as he didn't want any of the loot so let me help myself.
