he thinks level 60's would have better stuff to do.

he obv never played SZ where wizzies would MB you as soon as your level 1 naked A$$ booked into a zone. all day long. or where one social misfit would clear entire newbie zones for hours. and hours. and hours.

people always underestimate the lengths a few maniacs will go to when it comes to grief.

See above reply to Colgate.

From what I read in many places SZ would have suited me perfectly. I am also having much fun in P99 red just the way it is.

I never asked for a change. Just to learn why things are the way they are.

ps why MB a level 1, or are you trying to point out the person was crazy because he didn't save MB to kill say a level 40?

I said that without level limits I would have a chance to level + gear and maybe one day kill said twink. As it stands, some people think, that by twinking and deleveling a person can be untouchable.

I also said that thanks to great discussion on this thread I am of a different mindset than when I first posted.

The flaw with that logic is nobody would need to make a twink anymore they'd just steamroll you with a level 60 instead.

In my longer, earlier post, my logic was that other level 60s would retaliate against said griefers. As I have read fom SZ and as Timelord posted the retaliation would be both in the form of PvP and a sort of boycott. It seems a bit harder to invest all the way to 60 on a 'throw away character' to be used soley for 'greifing' than the current requirement to get lvl 15-30.

That was my original thought. After this discussion, I am not sure anymore. At least on this server with this population.

In the end I don't know if we can ever really know for sure because it has not been tried here.

I am taking the most prevailent advice I have gotten here. Focus on leveling up to try the lvl 60 PvP here. And do so in groups. Not just for exp bonus but the safety in numbers.

i was just pointing out that without level limits the griefers go absolutely nuts. they do not care about anything except ruining someone else's play experience. that is what's fun to them and the only reason they play.

r99 is chock full of those types of personalities.

Nail on the head there. If we didn't have a bunch of legitimate sociopaths playing here you wouldn't need a strategy to counter the griefing in the first place.

This place makes the SZ population look like a bunch of nuns.

Usually a level 60 is pvping lowbies because they suck at pvping at 60. You would get clerics who want to just nuke someone to death. Usually if a 60 showed up they would leave or log off.

There were always people who were looking for pvp and would come help out and fight against those killing lowbies. That builds cool pal bridges.

Also, those people who did grief lowbies were usually outcasts because no one like what they were doing. Most of them were made fun of because they couldn't pvp anyone their own level.

Just look at the PvP leader boards here. Most of the top names are from people below 50 who were just greifing really. The current level bracket just encourages twink pvp greifing. Most people who arent twinks dont want to pvp, they want to level up and pvp at 60 with the rest of the population.

While true for some people, I don't think this is as true as you think. Alot of the fungi twinks have lvl 60's in the top guilds, and some are fairly good at pvp. Also, plenty of people on this server want to level up and NOT pvp with the rest of the population. Due to blue being so crowded and the xp bonus on here, we have a lot of bluebies.

I think some of the 60's who jump on their twink alts occasionally do so because they dont currently see 60 pvp happening, and they want to pvp. I will log on on my highlvl toon and look for pvp, and when I can't find it easily enough (im not a porter, so jumping around to every zone isn't as easy), then sometimes I will log on a lower lvl toon to group. If i had a current twink, I would just log on that and kill someone to pass some time.
