I think its going to get stopped for sure. They need to make a new system that gives max level players a meaning to play with their friends, or level sync with them or something. Not destroy the experience of developing a character over a long period of time...

I agree with you TC i think they're needs to be more threads destroying the terrible logic that it doesn't affect anyone. Clearly it makes people upset so why not get rid of it? The number of people its upsetting is outweighing the number of people that are giving the game a chance because of it, and even if more people are getting into it because they can now have a free max level, can SE really trust those players to stick around once the game goes p2p?

I hope it gets rectified in 1.19a if it doesn't i at least expect an answer so i can know if the dev team really is this stubborn and move on to another game.
