Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[darkstarpoet1]

Expect to see a lot more of it. Less people playing means what's left are A. People with maxed DoW/DoM; B. People who can't find a party because A is true; C. In reference to A, they fill their ingame leisure time with PL groups for their Linkshell.

Let's all race to the... end!

don't forget d. that's the groups that are actually charging others to power level them. i've seen many shouts for pl parties as different ranges and charging 100k an hour each. you would think that shout was stupid until you see them later on with a full group porting out and they were the only high ranked player......

that doesn't seem so bad to make 600k+ an hour power leveling others...........

I have to deal with this, trying to steal PL camps back so we can actually grind >.>

I am blown away that this is even an issue at all. I have yet to run into it during my play time, I haven't seen anyone being PL'd or even run into this. Now, not saying it doesn't happen, but this isn't something that seems to be an issue anymore from the time I've spend in game.

Just saying.

Considering you only have one skill around raptor level, that seems to be why.

Just say all you want, you don't know what goes on obviously, and I have a couple people that can agree with me. I'm tired of going to camps to do a grind party, only to be booted out or forced to go somewhere's else because of a PL party.

Interesting.

Well, a screenshot has now been entered into evidence.

It can depict one of two things happening.

a) A PL-party taking on 4 mobs at once, about to steal a fifth, and leaving only one mob for a solo player.

b) A PL-party taking on 6 mobs at once, and a solo player who has stolen two of them.

I could be misinterpreting the screenshot, though. So what is really going on here?

Lol what? This is me trying to take back a camp from a PL party because my party had to "try" and find another good grind spot.

It's also showing AFK PL going on.

Can't prove they are afk with a screenshot.

Looks like to me you are trying to harass a group of people leveling by stealing their mobs from them.

Why would you do that? Were you there first? If not you are the one in the wrong.

How am I the one in the wrong when they are exploiting the system with an oust/invite PL party? Stealing their mobs doesn't necessarily make me better but it proves a point that I can't level with a regular party in a good grind spot becuase a PL party has taken over it.

Happen all the time in selbina some people say it not true because they don't see it so it have to be true that it's not happening. But w/e we have to deal with it too SE end up taking off Powerlevel and just make it so a white mage can heal your party outside your party that the only powerlevel i agree with.

Honestly, I was just asking what was actually happening in the screenshot. Now that you've told us (and shown us) we can get right into the usual discussion of what is right and what is wrong ... which seems to be well underway.

But at this point, someone from Faction #2 (how a player gains XP is his own business and as long as it doesn't subtract XP from any other player, it doesn't hurt anyone and should not be restricted. Anyone who wants to restrict it is a Fascist) should submit some evidence that what they suggest is true ... or be in danger of having their position invalidated by the existing evidence.

A screenshot of a Full Party sharing a camp with a PL-Party would be ideal to refute the existing evidence. But other evidence or testimonials are also acceptable, but won't be as strong unless they are significant in number.

Again, I'm trying to keep my bias out, and I hope to encourage a fact-based discussion. Let's see how we do.
