So is this normal everyday thing?

Didn't realize you could delevel in this game.
Aside from that though, I feel the Bard, even though I never say it to intentionally rush anyone or run ahead I do often think it. However that's just me when I can't find a myth farming group in PF.

I think he meant level synched.

But to the OP, I think this is definitely an everyday thing. Not just in a game but everywhere in real life. In society (I can only speak for American society however) we are constantly rushed to fulfill objectives so that we may maximize our daily productivity. And I think this rush is often shadowed in our virtual lives as well. We want to maximize our productivity in-game thus when slowing down or helping someone we tend to damage our ability to be as productive as possible in any given day. And well.. people don't like having to hurt themselves for the sake of someone else's gain.

Instead of it being a "fad" or a "generational" thing I believe it is more associated with our daily practices seeping into our gaming lives.

Or you know... I could just be over-exaggerating and blowing things out of proportions because I'm sleep deprived but unable to sleep. .___.
