PL Woes

[Kiroh]

I've said it once and I'll say it again : if you really, truly believe that long grind creates better players you are more than welcome to remove all your armor, slap on a level 1 weapon, and take on that masochistic leveling regimen to improve yourself.

But no, because I shouldn't have to because good gear and weapons are part of the game!

(Yes, but so is pling. And yes, it's an intended part of the game right now just as much as gear.)

But making leveling a slow, tedious painful process doesn't stop bad players/idiots from reaching level cap. It may slow them down slightly by like a day or two, but the people who will end up leaving are good players who just don't want to spend 12 hours a day for 5 months grinding to hit cap on one class.

I don't disagree with this. Although I think it's a statement that does not necessarily have to apply to powerleveling, but rather leveling speed in general.

Honestly, I don't have a strong opinion either way on this one. I don't necessarily hate PL, especially I can see the desire for 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. jobs that a person is leveling. But I also don't really like the way it works specifically in this game, at this time. The way the powerleveler drops party then kills the mobs, seems more like a faulty game mechanic than anything else.
