Power Leveling is an flaw and decreses the personal value of a Max level character.

Your title has a flaw in it

Can we have an isolated forum section titled "Power Leveling Issues" so these can be totally filtered out of general discussion. At this rate it'll chop half the posts out of General.

This thread can't be serious, sounds like a troll post to me. You care way too much about what other people are doing considering people have to volunteer to power level someone when they could be out doing the said leve's, farming, crafting.

They might be a troll, just due to the fact they started another thread instead of talking in the first one that was opened, and they didn't even care enough to spell check. So yeah I sort of agree. IF you people really care about pl'ing just talk in the first thread made. How would SE really know you cared if you talk in two separate threads and the numbers look divided. It doesn't actually make it look like people care more. haha. Anyways yoshi has a dev comment in the other thread, making it more legit.

i totaly agree pl'd players dont learn thier jobs properly and it DOES make it harder on myself and others who want to group up bec uase there are fewer players to group with please yoshi make it so mobs give 0xp or even cuase a loss of xp if the group or individual is recieving outside healing from the same charecter repeatedly or make it a permanent banning offens to powerlevel other players this game needs alot of work to be what it should powerleveling ruins the gaming experiance even more becuase of this factor

or make it a permanent banning offens to powerlevel other players

Wait, what? There goes just about everyone with multiple 50's already.

I have to disagree, I am neither "okay with" or "not okay with" Powerleveling...

I honestly DON'T CARE!

I have never learned how to play my class while leveling up, every time I've "learned a strategy" with any class in any mmo it has always been context sensitive, Killing mindless mobs out in the field? Beat on it till it stops! Killing a bigbad in a dungeon, okay that needs some work.

Second, your lvl 50 now is worthless?...fun fact! it was worthless before too. your max lvl character has NO REAL WORLD VALUE. It has only the "value" you yourself put into it. If the fact that some one else got to lvl50 without doing the same steps you did somehow cheapen your own self worth...then you have much bigger problems than power leveling...like the kind you need to seek mental health professionals to help you work out.

In conclusion...I do not care about power leveling, I have absolutely no interest in what "other people" are doing as it has no bearing on what I am doing

You need to read peoples posts before you start talking utter shit at me. How does my post mean i need mental therapy?

Because I haven't addressed it directly -- what's hilarious about this concept is that PEOPLE HITTING LEVEL CAP CHEAPENS THE VALUE OF HITTING LEVEL CAP.

That's why when you get to end game, no one really cares about you getting there. Each time someone hits level cap, regardless of how, it makes the event significantly less rare and important for the entire community. Its the nature of social interaction -- the more people who have done something, the less significant it is when one person does it -- unless you're otherwise inspired and taught to respond over exuberantly to the particular event (think graduations or birthdays.)

Since folks here seem to like real world examples, its quite like taking a final exam that you're given a week to fit into your schedule.

The first few people who take it and pass, everyone else is excited for them. After half the class has passed it, suddenly its not as amazing or pressuring, and when you're the last person to take it all you get from everyone else is "Oh yeah? Cool. That one was pretty easy."

Things like "the value of hitting level cap" are relative and distinctly personal -- I don't care at all about you or anyone else hitting level cap before or after me. Hell, I don't even care about myself hitting level cap -- I'm playing the game because I enjoy playing and want something to do to pass the time when I'm not doing anything more interesting -- Does it cheapen my eventually level up to 50 because 100 or 200 other people did it first? To you, maybe, but to me its the first time I've hit it 50 and that matters -- to me. Who gives a shit about what anyone else has done.

That all is to say, people who choose to PL don't give a shit about "personal value" in leveling, they want to get it done so they can do something more interesting. Why the hell do you care what -they- do with -their- time?

So you're saying those who play to feel a personal sense of self-accomplishment for reaching cap are just unreasonable because it is socially "no big deal?"
