it is. they are making up facts. since this 1.19a patch you can still easily get leveled from 1-50 in 5-6 hours total and that is still being power leveled.

Player A deals 5% initial damages on Target X, Target X is a difficult match for Player A.
Player B deals 95% damages on Target X.

Blatant case of PL, right (% can vary)?
In that case:

Player A experience points received are reduced by ??, as if Target X was slightly higher level (or more) than Player A.

That way, we keep our awesome claiming system and PL can still happen with a benefit for killing higher level monsters, but the benefit is reduced. Which prevents bad players from harassing others by killing their targets to reduce their experience points (call a GM if harassing continues). Also, it keeps experience chain functional to prevent accidental loss of experience chain.

Hopefully this could help calm the "anti-PL" feeling.

The post above mine isn't quite right. You can certainly level fast in there but I've never heard of anyone getting 300k per hour anywhere in the game. Ultimately the point is that in Copperbell (as well as a few other prime leveling locations) and with a balanced party of players with reasonable gear you can easily break 100k per hour. PLing is usually around 150k per hour. The difference between PLing and a good exp party then isn't really massive.

It is completely correct since I did it for a lot of my classes. When I PL'd with a buddy so we had 2 PL's 2 leeches my brother got:

Started at 1am > Oct 24 2011, 1:52 am
Lancer +254525 exp
Lancer 4 (32 » 36)

Was hilarious fun =D

If you want to be blind and ignore Math, Evidence and Facts, be my guest =D

Disclaimer: PV is the obligatory troll so the devs can see that the system is most certainly being abused on a daily basis by hundreds of players.

<3 you. :3
