How does PL'ing affect you?

I just don't do it.

my thoughts go with Yoshi-P, if a player dedicates some time to help his friend or family, that is fine. i've been in groups where one 50 runs around and kills things. i started as a 30cnj and fell asleep. i did take my turn killing things as my 50 thm and then I fell asleep so i did contribute a bit woke up and i was 39. that to me IS broken. do i deserve to be punished for taking advantage of something SE messed up on? idk; idc. not my problem; it's SE's and i suggest you let them come up with the solution and the 'punishment' to this issue. i won't promote or condemn my use of THEIR mechanics, i played their game... period.

in closing, it is nice to help a friend/stranger with their leveling. sometimes it feels that if you are not a crafter, you have nothing really to contribute to other ppl. so it nice to be able to put aside your own interests for a bit and help someone else level.
