    Leveling up through PvP? I don't even had to read any of it to see one gigantic exploit already, one that's used in many competitive games already. Boosting. Just have your friend stand there and kill them over and over again to gain levels. I mean if it's within the rules of the game fine, I can just see it getting abused just as powerleveling has been.

    No different than PLing, which Yoshi is okay with. If one or more people want to waste their time boosting your exp gain, he's cool with it.

    Yeah I'm fairly certain (although still a guess) that the PvP exp'ing is going to work like WoW. You get exp for participating and winning / losing. You get more exp for a win and a set amount for kills / flag captures / territory take over etc..

    Open world PvP... if they even have this ... will not reward huge exp. Even if you got the same amount as killing a normal mob, the dead "friend" enemy would have to return or run back to there body. So... explain how you could ever PL someone like that.

    I see what you are saying, but I have never seen something like that in an MMO, where a higher level player can "farm" lower level characters to benefit their lowbie friends. Even FFXI had level brackets, I almost think you just made that up! xD!! In WoW for example, that just isn't possible at all, battlegrounds have level brackets and you don't gain exp from killing players directly, you earn the experince after the battleground is finished, and the victors gain the most exp.
