The fact is, that in a Game where PLing is such a massive advantage over standard leveling people then become required to participate. You have to have so many max characters or you have to have all the best abilities. LS will not accept any reason for you not to because you can "just get a PL". When you make the difference between PL and not PL so drastic it becomes the norm and people who refuse to participate get left behind. They HAVE to conform or they will be rejected.
That's simply not true. You could PL all day every day in XI but parties I ever had there with a PL were like 1% of the time. This goes for any MMO. The vast majority of people in a successful MMO are not high level. You yourself are already at max length so you're just speculating because you haven't experienced it yourself. No, I have a better clue as to why you feel so strongly.. you feel ripped off. You don't feel better than someone who got PLed. Your confidence is threatened.

In a game.
