People powerleveling is becoming extremely disappointing for someone trying to exp. - Page 2

PLers are just players, and they have to play by the same rules as everyone else. If they are monopolizing content by holding down multiple camps ask them nicely to stick to one and then /petition a GM if they don't. If they're just using a camp spot, what does it matter if they are a PLer or a lower-level character? Your issue is just with the server population, not with PLers.

If you're just having trouble finding somewhere less popular to hunt might I recommend the Per-Level Hunting Guide?

Sol A goblins drop hq ore that's useful for skilling smithing and also vendors for good prices. It is pretty lame of higher level ore farmers to be taking mobs where level-appropriate chars are trying to do the content tho. Did you try talking to the people? Not every green loot farmer or PLer is an inconsiderate asshat. Some are, of course, but many are very willing to accomodate legit lower level characters.

If your intent is to solo, have you tried going some place that is not populated? I was killing scarecrows the other day in WK and I was the only one in the zone for hours

I'd like to but even on the leveling guide alot of stuff is missing. Mostly it is only the more populated zones. Niche areas like wk I don't even really know about.

Perhaps you should do a little exploring then. There are so many zones to level in, don't let a few people power-leveling discourage you.

I think PL-ing should be killed (put a hard cap on the % of exp able to be gained per hour and per day, such that fits in with most that could possibly be expected of people for their given level range, if they were actually playing the game as it's meant to be played), but this is doesn't help:

Explore! There's plenty of info about the level of monsters in zones, so just look for that and go there. I take it you're an enchanter, yes? That gives you tons of possibilities.

Also, go red server. Starting there now, you'll get to level 50+ faster than if you stay on blue.

This is probably the most arbitrary thing I have ever read on these forums.

Arbitrary? Looks like your bot dictionary/thesaurus is failing you there buddy.

Power leveling is bad for the game and not "classic" either. In 1999 everyone was focused on their own characters and when people made alts they didn't get power leveled. They might put together some starting gear (which would be, like, banded armor and a minotaur axe) and guildies might throw a couple buffs on someone's alt, but that was it.

I just added the scarecrows to the Per-Level Hunting Guide. Does a level range of 17-22 sound right (and do you have any other info about the location I can add)?
