Default PL'ing in Mistmoore and other popular zones...

What are people's views on this? Groups can't form if there's a PL session in progress so the argument of "it's quiet" doesn't really apply when 1 turns up, sees everything dead, goes away... another turns up, does the same etc.

Should powerleveling be confined to less populated zones? Interested to hear people's views.

Dunno, I don't consider PL'ers valid camps, so I'll just set up near them and we will start pulling.

I'm pretty sure the staff won't side with a power leveler over a group of levelers?

Also it's really funny you posted this video because I was just here this morning and this same couple of people were power leveling. I started hitting mobs to get weapon skill and get "don't you'll ruin my PL" /rolleyes

ALL PLer's dual box! BAN THEM ALL! Their all LIARS!

Seriously though, whatever. I agree with you about setting up camp around them. I mean, don't sit ON top of them but they aren't camping that spot. Just my opinion.

Only time I experienced a PLer that affected me was when I first started. I was in WC and was going to pull the orc camp (solo or group, I wasn't there yet). This low level Ogre who had pretty much 100k (figurative) dumped on him was being PL'd by his 'afk brother' if I remember correctly.

I asked if I could join but alas, he wouldn't have me.

LOL my two experiences with PLer's were also" I'm Pling my brother" as well. I sent them polite tells stating i was hunting in the zone also and asking them to leave mobs up and that I was moving into a camp and they were very polite and moved further along and left me the camp.

I don't agree that PLing in some of popular dungeons is wrong because I like to explore and hit the out of the way dungeons and don't want people moving in there to PL, they should stick to outdoor zones.

2 years ahead of you Swish!

Also Cecily I don't think you are wrong per se, but most of those powerlevelers are trying to hold down 10 camps at once anyway.

The problem is that if PLing is sticking to specific camps, then it's not really PLing so they end up snaking mobs from other areas whenever they are up which causes a drain on the groups that are trying to play using camps.

It's weird to me to think that I spent over 2 years on this server just farming plat to best in slot one level 60 character. Can't decide if it was a waste of time or not.

High level characters have just as much right to kill things in a zone as anyone else. You on the other hand don't have the right to hit whatever mob you like, particularly if you're interfering with exp from mobs they claimed (kill stealing). I'm not saying that I support PLing in high traffic zones, but to say that PL'ers camps aren't valid is writing your own server rules to suit you and that's not how it works. You're wrong.

Until I see a staff member come down and tell me that my group of leveling lowbies has to respect a PL'er taking up half of the zone, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing.

you don't need any clarification. its camp rules just like any other player in the whole game. they don't specify for PL's cause there is no need, its all the same rules. they get 1 camp thats protected by the rules, and so do you, all other popped mobs are fair game

they can take whatever is up until you call a camp. if they want that camp, and they had been clearing it, they can call that camp and maintain presence in it, then you can choose from another camp, and they can still kill anything else they can find that is not camped. this is really not that hard... the guy here in mistmoore has every right to PL by claiming the pond camp the same way any group could. if a group decided to go claim canyon or GY, then the PL'er would no longer be allowed to pull from those places. This is really not that complicated, nor do i think new rules should be made. its like people who were trying to boot me out of Moat camp in CoM because i wasn't a group and i was just soloing.... nothing matter except the fact that I'm holding it down and camping it. same goes for PL'ers.

i have no idea why you all are acting as if these rules don't already exist. call a camp, hold it down. if they snipe mobs on purpose then petition them like any other asshole who doesn't respect camp rules. they are very clear on the rules. lawyer quest has already been taken care of swish..
