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 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.

ya skimmed over OP and it appeared that he thinks he'd get griefed less if level 60s were able to attack him as well

am i retarded for interpreting his post that way or is he the retarded one?

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.

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.

Just the act of having teams on SZ makes the situation different. You can't talk to them, you can't group with them, guild with them, etc. It dehumanizes them into fancy NPCs.
