Powerleveling ruined my day

Rude? What's the point of midlevel content when everyone is only worried about making high level gear, doing the high level dungeons, and only worried about high level stuff? I don't know, but I do think it effects a lot of people.

The point about mid-level content is completely valid, I don't dissagree. However, there is a simple fix: Cap the mid level content. So asside from the mid level content, which you can still do mid level btw nobody is stopping you, how does it affect your gameplay?

[Molly_Millions]

Why have levels at all then? Or gear? I mean, how does other people's gear affect you? Oh that's right, it doesn't. Let's just remove all content so we don't have to do it!

lolwhat?

OP: Since you weren't involved in the party, I fail to see how this affected you. Yes, they should fix it, but I don't really see why you're raging so hard. It's not like they interfered with anything you were doing.

All I see in these powerlevel/whining threads is jealousy to be honest. We (as long time players) had to work our asses off to get to 50, so you all think that everyone else should have to as well. Now what if we (as high level players) want to enjoy content with players who are new to the game, or vice-versa. The best way I see to do that is to power level the low level players. I have no problem with that what-so-so ever. If you're concerned about the low-level content not being a challenge, then don't level up all your classes. I fail to see how anyone elses levels affect you at all.

It affects me in a lot of ways that you are only going to put down even more to make your point better. I'm not gonna get in some stupid a** forums fight trying to explain my point.


POWER LEVELING IS STUPID. The end.

yes, so many ways that you can't even list one....

I don't "put down" valid reasons. If you give a valid reason, then there won't be a problem. The very fact that you're hesitant to name your reasons suggests you don't have one.

Other people minding their own business doing their own thing does not affect you in any direct way whatsoever, unless they're like hogging the monsters you want to fight or something. That doesn't mean that they don't need to fix this issue, but you're blowing it way out of proportion.

Like, because in a MMO, players are completely separated from each other?

Of course I am envious. And as I don't want to be left behind in the dust, I will ultimately adapt and use powerleveling as well (I already tried it today).

Not because I like to. In fact, it runs contrary to pretty much everything I expect from a "good" leveling experience (party interaction, tactical challenges, thrilling combat). But it is the most efficient way.

And honestly, when it takes me 5 times longer to reach the "meaningful" content by conventional means (and before it is trodden to death by PL'ed idiots), I would have to be pretty stupid to not do it.

Sad panda.

By that logic: why doesn't SE hand out artifact weapons for free?
After all, the whole mumbo-jumbo until max level and gear should be completely optional anyway?

Clearly you didn't read his entire post. The only way it can affect you on a level that actually matters is if they are taking all of the mobs you're trying to kill. The easiest solution would be to go to the next area. Just because a person has friends willing to power level them does not mean your game play or experience is diminished in anyway. If fact I ran into this myself yesterday. A LNC was power leveling his lvl 5 friend where I was killing mobs, he was nice enough to invite me and another person to the group while he killed mobs. Had he not invited me I would simply move to another area, not hard to do.

Well, obviously you didn't read my post at all.
The problem is the connectedness of players in a MMO, not whether I made some puny EXP in that situation or not.
Rings a bell?
