Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Kiote]

I'm not at 50 either, but, I don't think it's a big deal. Getting to 50 is not intended to be a Big Deal. It's just supposed to hook you long enough to stick around.

Yes it is, getting Max level in an MMO is the first great achievement any player can get. In a normal MMO you say I GOT MAX LEVEL. Your excited people are excited for you, often times there is at least a minor celebration. To rob people of the Joy of finally getting max level is despicable. There is no other feeling in any MMO that comes close to the pure elation of finally getting your first Max level character. The only thing that ever came close in any of the twenty some odd MMOs i've played was getting my relic in XI. A feet that was so pain stakingly time consuming and difficult that most people never even got that joy.

When anybody can hit max level in a day and a half, no one cares..
