How does PL'ing affect you?

[Preypacer]

Sorry, but weren't those threads already here, pre 1.19? Stupid ppl are stupid whether they are powerleveling or not.

Exactly.. in any scenario, in any MMO.

Those types of people - the "Level Cap ASAP" and xp/hr obsessed types - will be complaining even 3 years down the line when the end-game is much more developed. The idea is that they blow through 80-90% of the game because they consider only the last 10-20% to be "the part that matters". Then they get bored and complain that the 10-20% isn't given more attention than the 80-90% they raced through/past.

Like I said, it happens in every MMO.

And it has nothing to do with the MMORPG in question. It has everything to do with the people themselves.

That there's currently an extremely broken method of PL'ing now is incidental. It's just allowing them to reach the same end-result faster. Whatever the situation in the game is, they'll always find "the fastest and most efficient way to reach level cap", with the same exact result.

Your post is actually a great example of what I'm getting at.
