I agree 100%, but this is not something that can be controlled no matter what unless they bind each login account to an IP which may end up being a bigger hassle for the staff when people change ip's and stuff like that making it not worthwhile

To the person who made the argument about the PL-ee not knowing how to play the class....

That argument flew on live a little. Probably not so much here. I'd be willing to bet that most of us have played more than one class in the end game. We probably all understand the basic mechanics and class roles better than we did at this point on live.

As someone who played a ranger as a main from release until L75, I'm not sure what I'd learn exactly going through it all again on a ranger untwinked and un PL-ec. What's the point, again? Further, were I to blast a druid to 39 and port you or a cleric to 50 and clicky-rez you, would you criticize me for not being able to play my class well?

That said (as someone who powerlevels other a good bit), I agree with the "don't be a dick and monopolize mobs" when there are exp. groups around" sentiment.

In fact, I encourage the "don't be a dick" sentiment generally. That would take care of 98% of the problems on the server.

this is one thing that has always struck me as odd with this server, it seems like everyone sticks to a hand full of zones. im so sick of the oasis, mm, ot, kc, seb/hs route but it seems like if you dont try to xp in one of those zones good luck finding a group unless you form it yourself. and good luck finding people willing to xp in places like cazic-thule, runnyeye, splitpaw or pretty much any of the lower end kunark dungeons.

Surely this has come up before; if anyone can find an older thread, please bump it so I can comment there.

It seems like a double standard to outlaw boxing but permit powerleveling. (especially since I suspect most powerleveling is actually from boxers)

This is so much fun to watch debates about topics that will never have policies changed regardless. lolzies gb2 wall street and occupy things

So I'm in oasis today doing spectres for the first time at lvl 38. About an hour in a lvl 58 necromancer shows up with a level 1 enchanter. He tells me that he will be taking some of these... I'm only able to do two at a time and maintain my mana at the time so I said fine, leave me the 2 on this side so I can fear kite them. All is well for about 30 minutes, but now the enchanter is lvl 15 and apparently he needs more exp because the lvl 58 started pulling my only 2 mobs out of the 8 or so in the camp. I just left because there was nothing I could do about it.

Hours later after running to high keep and doing it for a while I /w all oasis and see he is gone. I return to the zone and notice a cleric camping the spot. I observe that he is only able to do 1 spectre and decide to summon my pet and work around him. 30 minutes go by and guess shows up with another new character? The same necro. The cleric tells him that the spectres are camped & the necro replies "it doesn't look like it to me" and begins to pull. The cleric has to threaten to report him before he will leave.

Me & the cleric begin to talk and he tells me the same necro came & took the spawn from them the previous night, for power leveling. I don't think that power leveling should be considered an offense, but aggressively seizing camps from low level players for the purpose of power leveling should be.

[gloine36]

As the Cleric the OP mentioned I would like to second what the OP said. The 58 necro is not being very polite and is really a douche about camp stealing.

[Fryhole]

Not seeing the point in giving the low level a mob like a spec - is the exp bugged and not capping?

[Kratzy]

Yeah, apparently there is no cap. I was always told a red is a red. Be it 10 levels above or 25 it was the same amount of "red" experience. But that doesn't appear to be how it works here.
