Power leveling should be banned.
When someone takes a zone like najena or unrest, and makes the entire zone a personal playground for some level 10 character via power leveling.. is that in line with what this server wants.
I wanted to go hunt najena with a friend. I am 16, she is 14. Instead a level 50+ is getting paid 2k an hour and pulling every named and mob he can past us as we watch his level 10 friend level. As an of-level group, we can't really get anything going, as the mobs we want are down, and when they pop, we might get 1 or 2 while the Pler pulls everything past us. If we try and go deeper for pulls, entire rooms spawn on the puller on his way back. I'd argue that PLing is WAY worse for the game than 2 boxing (though I hate that also). I propose a modification that makes it impossible for a character to gain XP from any mob more than double their level - regardless of how the kill is made. We want a classic EQ experience, or a race to dominate spawns at 60 - screwing the population that wants to fight of-level dungeons? | ||

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.

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
