The Powerleveling BS.

tidustheswordwarrior

Will you guys just plain shut up for a change and quit being a bunch of blockheads that need a good knocking on the heads. As far as ive read up on this whole powerlvling issue and have experienced it as well, is that plvling causes ppl to become arrogant, prideful, and thinking they are so invincible cause they got to the high lvls faster than someone else.

This game is a lot of repetition. If you need that much repetition to learn how to play your class; you probably had problems in school as well. Seriously; most people are just copying others anyway. Not many are actually learning better ways to do things.

I get witched at for killing a mob that's quicker to kill than ninja. I get witched at for not using BB by another cleric. I've seen an almost invulnerable BM get witched at for not waiting for cleric buffs. Having Asperger's; I'm very comfortable with repetition which makes me wonder if a majority of the players have Asperger's and can't adapt to change quite as well.

Actually liking the old school way of leveling may indicate that you have a degree of autism which is a spectrum disorder. See if you identify with these people (I do):

Everyone is stupid in their own ways. People with Asperger's/ Autism will excel greatly in their ways but at a cost to other ways.

Anyway, the repetitious grinding described by people in this thread doesn't contribute to knowledge of their class or their ability to learn. On the contrary: a p-leveled toon will learn faster / and innovate more. I dare say my p-leveled cleric is better than most out there but admittedly not as good as some.

Smif, if that is the case...why do I run into lv100 clerics that don't know what Purify is? Or 9x-100 that have no idea even wtf FB or CtD is? We don't make stuff up, it's experience from other players tyvm.

I still call BS on this, it is virtually impossible that a lvl 100 does not know what purify is

first off the only way that would even be conceivable is if literally some noob who just very first started this game only leveled to 100 buying heads, which is quite frankly impossible....for one there is no market for selling heads to someone who is 90+, and the very point of powerleveling is to get there as fast as possible and the only way for someone to get there fast as possible 80+ is do frost in groups, not buy heads....and you cant tell me that someone who is 100 hasnt done at least 2 fccs and hasnt heard the term purify if they are a cleric whos been in a group thats met fragrance....

Secondly are you saying they dont know what the abbreviation is? or that they have never done a FB? cause again thats laughable, your saying that there is truly a character out there who has no skills that are not starter skills, cause its impossible to have more than 3-4 skills without having done your FB19.....

Im sorry but your exaggerations only prove my point even more, rebuttal please?

I guess I made a few points in my previous post that may have obscured over the main problem as I see it.

Zen is power leveling, Hyper grinding is powerleveling, oracle is powerleveling. They all cost coins to do it and you end up with a decent amount of experience. I Hyper grind my veno at 90 because it makes grinding like the old days when I was lvl 30 and saw the Exp bar actually move. The thing is with all of these your talking about coin and time. A hyper Zen would be the most expensive and the fastest, but no one is going to want to accept a lvl 20 into their squad to plvl to 50 right there. SO it stays between those lvls to rank up.

FC+Hypers is so amazing at giving experience it borders on the insane. Anyone can do it, People are now selling it...

Heres the thing...Its...so...freaken...cheap! And by that I mean it doesnt cost you much money. 5 hypers is 80-90k per hyper. Thats less than 500k for millions of experience in the span of a few hours in a somewhat crappy squad. (sin squads...how fast do they run FC)
How much is Gold going for on your server? Mine is 1.2m right now.

Think about that... for $1.20 you can Hyper the **** out of FC for stupid amounts of exp. Not hundreds of dollars on oracles, or even a DQ items sold = Hypergrind....Its pennies for millions of experience.

Its lessened the experience of the game...Its like having Game Genie for everyone playing...it just makes the game ..lesser.

This is just my opinion, really the only thing PWI has done that ive absolutly hated, and why I dont like FC+Hyper.

Remember when you would play for 5 hours to get 15%?


Remember when the game consisted of watching videos online while doing world quest, then grinding for 4 hours at fish?


It wasn't fun. It wasn't interesting. Stop pretending it was. Quests would give maybe 10%. Maybe. And that was it. You would make a squad and kill fish for 6 hours and hope you got 20%.

That was the game.


Zhen was something rich people did so that they could level up while afk.


If you were able to get a rebirth group together then you would run rebirth over and over and over and over.

the only difference to today is that people were lower lvls
todays gameplay consists of fc which is boring after few runs or anyone enjoys doing fc all day?
how broken it is shows new race after 2 days there were 100s already and the results are
tons of high lvl noobs which makes them thinkin they are something now because of their lvl = terrible comunity

You missed the OP's point by a mile.

OP isn't talking about him/herself, the point was EVERYBODY else is doing it.

Hyper EXP is the worst concept I have ever seen in an online game, ever.

I came back to PWI about a month ago and BH squads were suddenly terrible, mystics initiating on Wyvern. Before all this plvl started people actually waited for the tank to get aggro. Now clerics just straight away heal the tank before he is in range to do anything, grab heal aggro, rage, and make threads on forums about it.
