maybe you are just pissed you arent getting the powerlevel , go to a diff zone or shut the fuck up
Just a little over reaction don't you think. I think how the OP is feeling most of us has felt at some point or another. If you never were annoyed by this, then you are in the minority.

Got no problem with people doing powerleveling, but they shouldn't be taking the whole zone, as many people, including sirken, have pointed out.

Some people still seem to think thats ok though. If everyone just did what farkle and a couple others have stated they do (backed off when people asked for a camp or two, buffed, etc) then I dnt think the OP or anyone would be complainig that much, its just the assholes that no one likes.

I feel your pain OP but if you are frustrated with spawn monopolization while levelling dont expect to have fun at max level.

Competing for mobs - of level - is fine by me. It's part of a shared world. Competing for level 15 mobs with a level 60 so they can PL a level 10, sucks. It's against the spirit of what "experience" means, and mocks the dungeon/zone in which it is done.

People who don;t originate in this genre, back when we had a live GM, don't realize the intent of experience. It's why skills level up as you use them. It is granted when earned. Live GMs take levels away for acting out of alignment. They certainly wouldn't be granting Xp for being Pled. It is obvious to anyone that examines EQ, that the server rules are trying to get of-level mobs/dungeons taken by of0-level characters. It no different than a live GM picking the correct of-level module for his players. You'd never see the GM pick a level 20 module for a level 50 player to run trough with his level 1 buddy. It's just a mockery and insult to the genre.

Its the video game mentality. EQ is an RPG with graphical enhancements, that is the intention. Pling on any level is an exploit against the intent put forth by the creators of the game.

I have a main, I had one from 1999-2010 on live. I had a ton of alts, and they all played the game and enjoyed all the levels - in all the zones. If people stopped worrying about levelling and enjoyed the game, then they wouldnt be bored levels 1-50, because they'd be chalenging all the content, not the same tired 5 areas that have max xp.

gonna let you in on a little secret, there is a lot higher percentage of assholes/no-lifers/rmters on this server compared to live. RPers are spread pretty thin, casuals as well. you have no idea how serious people take this game now. GL bro.

Totally agree... unfortunately, people who agree with this are in the minority on this server. I can partially understand some of the reasons people have given to be powerleveled, although I've never done it.

The beauty of EQ is there really isn't any limitations. You take the good with the bad. EQ2 tried to put in all these limitations to force people to play the way they intended. How did that turn out. So as annoying as someone getting powerleveled is, I just deal with it because I like that freedom and wouldn't want it any other way.
