Power leveling should be banned. - Page 4

I powerlevel on/off depending on if I need cash for an item..l what I will say is I prefer to choose zones that are quiet / empty because I know it sucks from personal experience when there is no mobs because some DB has taken them all. I powerlevel in crushbone, sure.. But only if there is noone in the zone / the people in the zone are not high enough to take the throne room, since that's where I handle it almost everytime. Unrest I will only use the yard trash in the morning time (on GMT) because that place is pretty much dead if you'll pardon the pun. Mistmoore I never touch with a barge pole, that place never seems to have less than 10-15 people in it.

I PL a lot on my Druid. But I try not to do it if there is a lot of people in the zone. But like it has been said it is part of the game. So we should ban Bards that are pulling 40 + mobs in a zone at a time also?

It is not like this is some constant thing. Get over it.

While I agree that there are definitely a ton of pl'ers on P99, I don't think you can make rules against powerleveling. It is a part of the game, and while it can be obnoxious at times, it is always going to be around.

Alot of you have said that if there is someone PL'ing in a zone and they decide to pull all/most of the zone that you can /petition and get it taken care of. is this true? I've had it happen on multiple occasions, including times when my party was already established at a camp when some high level player came through and started pulling everything, and we weren't sure what to do. I remember on live that it was recommended you 'take care of it yourself' because if a guide came with a solution you may not like what they decide, but on this server should we be /petition'ing when smething like this happens? And if my party was there at a camp first and someone started pulling from it, is a decision going to be made in our favor?

Just the other day we were killing in a zone, had a camp set up, were pulling reliably from it with no problems when all of a sudden another player showed up and started pulling mobs from us. He basically told us to eat shit, that he wasn't going to leave, and that if we bugged him about it and/or stole mobs from "his camp" that he would pull even more mobs from our camp. Should we have petitioned for a gm? Again, we weren't sure what to do. I know what the server rules are, but I wasn't sure if we should be bothering a gm for something that I thought should have been possible to deal with on our own (even though it wasnt)

Sorry that this post kind of rambled on, im really tired and didnt think it through very well.

Tl;dr Pl'ing can suck but its for sure a part of the classic experience, people have always PL'd in eq. Also, is it ok to petition a gm when *any* player comes and tries to steal a camp from you? IE. they start pulling mobs from a camp you were already at, or a high lvl player comes and starts pulling everything. thanks in advance!

Powerleveling is hardly done to push someone 1-50+. Most people just want a bump through a bracket that's hard to find groups, or to get to a certain spell level. While there are those who get PL'd hardcore, I agree, slow down a bit and enjoy the ride. I enjoy doing PLs and receiving them. However, not to an extreme to where even that gets boring.

I agree with what he says. I do a lot of people to get them from say level 7 to 16 or so. Gets them into good areas that have some loot, and gets them the better spells that go along with it like SoW, and Bind, FD and Melee's Duel Wield and maybe Double attack.

I think I have kept a few people on here that would have quit still going on. Not counting giving them some gear and plat for spells. Its not all evil. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am getting a nice Pl right now. Why? Because all of my friends are in their 50s and i am restarting so they are pl'ing a character of mine so i can group with them later on.

First night I was lvl 5 in Oasis. my buddy pulled almost the entire damn zone, granted it got me from 5 to 10 in less than an hour, but someone did complain about us taking the entire zone. In response we didn't take any more mobs, and had a nice chat in /OOC.

I would seriously say something if it is happening to you, i would like to think that a lot of people here know the deal, and will understand. You don't have high level friends to PL you, so you are doing the grind we all did so long ago, we all get it and completely understand. If we need to leave a camp for you then that's cool, if you want 2 camps, that's fine with me. Need some buffs? give us a holler.

Of course i'm just speaking for myself and my friends, but with such a small server of people who have already been around the block in this game before, i doubt you should catch much flak if you just open up say your piece nicely and ask for some help.

ROFL this is the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Out of all the shit that goes on, on this server, you worried about powerleveling ?

Like I care that a new player has to travel ...gasp...to another zone to EXP ?? Traveling in EQ ??? omg unheard of.. thats some bullshit right there. wheres the griffin ? amirite ?

When I started this shit, every good exp zone had someone being powerleveled (usually being 2 boxed) Did I run to forums to bitch ? no.. I fucking leveled to 57 and here I am.

man up and deal with it.
