Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Mindx3]

As much as i accept the idea of PLeveling, i think it still should take some time, although i also accept 1-50 in a couple of days / hours. Im not sure if lvling as fast as people have been reporting is working as intended or not as it does seem rather quickly. How about making plvl only possible on characters that have had a class reach cap. I do remember yoshi-p saying that if the claiming system does completely break the game then they will change it. But after reading this thread it seems that the claiming system isnt the issue since lvl 50 actually join your party. Plvling in this manner is rather stupid because the 50 can initiate the 1st attack thus getting hate and being able to kill any lvl mob for the rest of the party. Instead of having the lower level player tag 1st and having the 50 kill it afterwards out of the party.

How are the 2 methods different? In the 2nd method the low lvl player takes a risk of tagging higher lvl mobs that can 1-2 shot him if the plvl doesnt respond fast enough.

But both methods shouldent be a problem if a cap is in place, i my self have not tested plvl yet. Can somone tell me if there is a difference in xp for both methods?

Unless I'm misunderstanding you there is no true difference. If a level 1 attacks something first, then a 50 comes to own it.. the 50 is still going to grab hate. The only problem I guess would be that if its a level 1 vs. a level 39 mob then the level 1 is going to get steam rolled in one shot. However there are methods around this as well (pull with ranged item + stoneskin, and the 50 taunts.. etc.). I guess having the level 1 hit the mob would also prevent him from going AFK /follow the r50 who is owning everything.

The game has been out for a year, who cares if people get to max level in a week or 3 days, 2 days. There is still 7 classes in the game. They would have to invest time to do the storyline, class quests, GC quests, gear up, farm money, etc... it's not like they are going to come in and hit R50 and being at the same "level" as you in a day.
