Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[Isaveron]

I feel there should be some sort of punishment for those who willing took advantage of power leveling. Either a rollback of the ill gotten experience points, or even a suspension or ban for the really big exploiters. It's unfair to those that leveled legitimately.

Why? What did they do to you? They didn't harm you in any way.

What are you proposing anyway? that like half the playerbase gets banned?

[Altareon]

PLing is worse than botting.

If it isnt an exploit it isnt an exploit
kinda like leve failing

what they need to do if its an issue is put a solution in quicker



also not as many people are "power leveling" as you may think, hell, i doubt many are at all
no one really wants to drag others around to gain them lower ranks(at higher ranks its no longer really power leveling)

Yes lets ban everyone for using a mechanic SE put in and *** up in the first place. BLAME THE CUSTOMER!

its not that

the OP needs to learn what the word exploit means is the problem

[Alhanelem]

punishing players for SE's own mistakes in the game's current condition doesn't seem very prudent to me at the moment.

I agree. It's unfair that people had to sit in a room with trash piling up and ignoring real life so they could concentrate on hitting R50.

Now any sodding bugger can hit R50 without spending ten hours a day on the game. It's totally unfair

If it isnt an exploit it isnt an exploit

How is being able to level from 1-50 in one day not an obvious exploit?

an exploit is abusing a bug in the system that isnt meant to be there

abusing a game mechanic cuz its there isnt an exploit

lets take the old leve "abuse" as an example

failing for more exp was NOT an exploit
faling/retaking the faction NM leves to avoid spending more points WAS an exploit


there is a HUGE difference between the 2 as one abused the system in place legaly and the other abused a bug in the system that was illegal


the power leveling situation may not be what they intended, but it is 100% legal cuz its how they programmed it to work

expect some adjustments to it in the future(sooner rather then later imo)

but using the word "exploit" for it is a very improper use of the term


also people arent going from 1-50 in a real day
the posts weve seen about how it can be done, have been done over SEVERAL jobs at a specific range, they didnt start at 1 and go to 50
and they were people who were hardcore enough to have had several 50s to begin with probly so this really didnt do anything for them
