petition to make leveling optional (ex. auto-50)

[Preypacer]

That has to be the most dumbest example ever.

Its nothing like that, is the Credits the best part?

And that's an equally dumb analogy.

The end game is "the best part" to some not all.

As usual, people are thinking only in terms of how it would benefit them in the short term, and not of how it could affect the game long-term.

What happens in practically every single MMORPG when the population levels off and not as many new people are playing? The game becomes top-heavy. What's the result of that? Lower level players complain of having not enough people to partake in content with, they get discouraged and leave.

What this "suggestion" is promoting is a similar outcome.

You might say "well if they want to do content with others, then they have the option to skip to level 50 also". But that's defeating the point... The point is, people who would like to do the tougher lower level content - without being PL'd through it - will have a tougher time of it due to a decreased low-level population.

What you're basically promoting is the potential increased frustration of future players, because some don't know how to to enjoy anything but level cap/end game in a MMORPG.

I know it's easier and more self-edifying to think in terms of solely what you want and what would benefit you and make the game better for you without regard for how what you want would affect many others who may not share your preferences.. However, please try to remember that you are playing with many others and that you do not speak for all of them.
