Sounds a bit odd, but it reminded me of the very first time I played FFXI. I was playing a Thief and my friend was some kind of healer/buffer class (dunno which one it was). Whilst i fought stuff he just kept healing and buffing me, when I asked what he was doing he just went "powerleveling". Dunno if he meant me or him though... either way it made the fights boring.
