Witty. Can't form a reasoned response?

While I agree with you, this was done back in classic, though maybe not to this extent. Altering the ability to PL would interfere with the "classic" setting that this server is trying to imitate.

If I were you, I would've claimed a camp. Power-leveling is allowed, but camping an entire zone isn't unless its all uncontested.

IMO the people that PL in places like Unrest or Crushbone (and this is like 90% of the PLers) are utter douchebags. Whenever i play a new char I am tempted to start a 'PL hall of shame' thread.

Najena is pretty rare though - I guess you were just unlucky there.

Did you try talking to him? I'd say 90%+ of problems like these can be resolved with discussion amongst the two parties. The other 10% or so are just douche bags.

Spot on.

Amelinda did say a good while back that PL'ers need to respect high traffic levelling zones such as Unrest/Mistmoore/etc because of this problem.

I think wherever you see this and powerlevellers refuse to move elsewhere its worth a petition, I don't know what the current GMs view is on it but in all honesty I'd stand my ground as a Lvl 20 and make a case to share what is there (let me/my group take what we can and give the rest to the PL group).

Best example I ever had of this was a busy night in MM on my SK quite a while ago. Everything was camped, lake, GY, pit, castle entrance (my group), Dhamp (obviously camped) and there wasn't much to be had.

(Story inc)

Grouped at CE, a PL druid turns up with some level 12 or something, and starts pulling the shit that few groups rarely get to without help... but also pulling some of our stuff with it (mobs near the entrance etc). So we decide to move in by the two gargoyles in the hallway and pull the gypsies and whatever else we can get to. Druid then decides we're being douchebags for slowing down his PL efforts and pulls a shit-ton of stuff as we're fighting to the outside, everything gets social aggro and we wipe.

To top it off, once back in the zone he puts his camp lawyer hat on and then claims CE and says that he's been in the zone longer and if we pull any mobs he'll petition, knowing very well what he just did was an attempt to clear us out/disband us.

Someone make a "Scumbag PL druid" meme [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I powerlevel in unrest sometimes at off hours,(never during peak hours I feel bad) but if someone comes and they want a camp from me since I basically take the whole zone it's never a problem and I always give it up. I don't see a problem with power leveling as long as they don't steal mobs

I just leave a zone if powerleveling is going on usually. It's annoying, but I don't think anything can realistically be done about it. My thoughts about the powerlevelers are why be in a hurry. It's just pixels, there are pixels at level 1 just like level 60. It seems like people don't play this game for adventure and challenge, that's why they'll sit in a zone and grind out the same old mobs for hours on end. Being powerleveled also boring, I never enjoy a game on cheat mode.

Why not adventure a bit and challenge yourself, I would think that one of the biggest challenges in the game is forming a mid level group and going to Runnyeye, SolA, Cazic Thule, Permafrost. High level groups and raiding is a joke in comparison.
