Default People powerleveling is becoming extremely disappointing for someone trying to exp.

Seriously.

I was in Najena at lvl 25 which is slow at that time anyway. It wasn't long before a 48 bard (lmao) is grabbing up all my goblins and spiders. For what? They are extremely green to him, and spiders don't even drop mage focus items if that was the issue.
So I died trying the higher lvl skeletons he left, because charm wouldnt stick.

Upper guk was also rife with plers, and anything I could safely exp in there was shot.

Move on to Sol a. Originally a few guys were in there but I was cool with it, I was killing the young and cinders and they were pling using the higher goblins so np. But then another couple plers moves in shortly after and wipes out all the gobs in the area I was in. Granted I'm not constantly pulling due to mana regen, but i was still there hunting legitimately. So I just camped, having wasted hours of time traveling for no reason. Not only that, but a 46 paladin is wiping bridge goblins that again provide no exp for him.

This is becoming discouraging. It seems the only options are sit on a group waiting list at the crowded zones. Trying to solo or even duo the other zones appropriate for my level (with moderate risk, unlike somewhere like CT) is nearly impossible, and out of the question entirely if it is peak hours. Why are way over leveled toons clearing mobs that give me exp? That one was the most frstrsting. At least in the other cases exp was being had by someone.

Yeah I've actually considered red for this reason. Even on live at this stage this didn't happen, these zones would be camped with appropriate groups which would be fine, but here its always plers.

I haven't gone red because my buddy plays blue, and I have like 10k in gear on blue that would not transfer or get a low rate. That and having to lvl over again.

Solving this issue, Velious release will give plers something else to do, or any mobs that are green and are not needed for class specific quests/drops make them invulnerable, sure there's some coding out there that could be developed. Obviously there would be issues but hey I'm just throwing the idea out I'm not supposed perfect it

At any point did you try talking to these people or did you just come straight to the forums to cry about it?

Ok, I'll meet your veiled insult.

In Najena, I ooc'd and sent tells to the bard who never responded. He left soon after I eventually died.

In uguk, ooc was met with silence.

Sol A first group was a cool bunch so I don't have an issue. After second group came in I left frustrated, didn't say a word.

I don't understand: if you had a camp spot that was working for you, why would you leave? It doesn't matter who comes to the zone, whether they're a group, a single power-leveler, or whoever: once you claim a camp here on P99 it's your's until you give it up, no matter who enters the zone.

It sounds like maybe the real issue here is just that you need to familiarize yourself with the server rules.

So for the most part, no.

I have leveled a handful of characters solo and anytime I've had a conflict with someone (which has probably been like 3-5times?) it was resolved by just shooting the guy a tell. Just be chill with each other and treat one another with respect. Both of you have the right to be where you are regardless of exp/loot/rep.

(below isn't directed at you, just my rant)

There's a lot of blame game on the forums and it seems like culmination of

1) Both parties never talking it out, yet both sides are ready with a laundry list of why the other party is in the wrong.
2) Mom and Dad (GMs) haven't gotten to my petition yet/are ignoring me.

The main thing that isn't classic about this server is how some of you don't understand that the more you give the more you receive.
