    they could do that but we all know p lvlers will always find a new way to p lvl.. when i started playing it was oracles now it's fcc next year it'll be w/e they figure out . the not knowing anything i can work with , it's not knowing anything with **** gear from lvl 85 and acting like they know how to play thier toon that annoys .. oh yeah that and telling me how to play mine even though i've played her for about three years and only hit 101 last year or so lol

    Agreed, power-levellers gonna powerlevel, but if they limit FC completely to 75+ or something, and set a level req of 30 on hypers (level of first oracle), at least they'll have to level normal to 30 no matter what.

    Agreed. Doing this would also promote more people to start. Beginner areas are pretty much dead, which deters new players from playing. Putting an end to the power-leveling to 100+ would mean more people would (in theory) be playing legit from level 1, and therefore more people doing lower BHs, and hopefully attract more new players to the game, which still benefits PWI because more players = more potential cashers. AAaaaaaannnnnnndddddddd IDK about other servers, but with old players leaving, and new players not joining, my server feels like it's dying out.

    They need to limit the amount of oracles a person can do in a day...say 10 would be plenty. I have had several ppl make a char and quit cuz NOBODY in the low lvl areas except the high lvls dueling and trash talking. ppl dont even do quests anymore...it is killing this game.

    They need to up the amount of exp/sp/coin people make with quests, make them more enjoyable and worth it. The repairs in this game, the costs, the coin costs for EVERYTHING is making people who I know move to fking private servers. You've no idea how many of my friends have moved to that new private server -.- I detest private servers and I'm doing my best to keep people here at PWI, but if they don't give us something to work with we're done for. Pack your bags, PWI is on the way to being deserted and full of R9 +12 sins who don't even know what headhunt does.

    Making a seperate post cause I actually read the rest of your post...
    But anyway, I agree, I ran a BH69 for a few people yesterday. They insisted that as a 101 5APS sin I could solo without any buffs, which is true, and that I could do it without wine, which is also true, however, I do prefer to have buffs because it makes it easier on my crab meat, and with the ranged mobs in there, I only have so much crowd control to work with (albeit a lot). Then they insisted on telling me that I needed to use chill of the deep for more damage. At first I thought this little level 8x sin was just trolling me... Then he told me to use only headhunt on mobs because tackling slash is "useless" for crowd control, at which point he proceeded to throatcut a mob so that it ran away from me before I had a chance to do anything to keep it near me. Finally he told me to just use my bow because I suck at crowd control, at which point I PMed the leader of the squad (thank god it was not this guy) and kicked him. After which point the run went quite smoothly. xD

    +1

    Also, make it to where you can quest from 1-100 without running out of quests, increase the coin, exp and spirit earned from quests, add new quests, etc. Maybe even a slight increase to the exp and spirit from killing mobs (or leave the 2x exp and spirit permanently since it doesn't make hypers seem even more appealing the way it would if base exp were increased)

    I would take over any of the awards agents in PWI. They are never doing anything, under my leadership they would be put to work.

    Another NPC I would take over are the arena teleporters. They are quite lonely...

    Just need to say, the only way i'm impressed by anything a sin does nowadays is if they actually use tackling slash on a runner b:chuckle kind of like all the times i see bm run into group of magic mobs, no roar, auto attack 1 mob, then crash into the ground at the speed of light. then the cleric gets blamed of course

    This reminds me of the time when i did bh metal, squad wipe occured. People said we need a 5 aps person to do the boss. Failing to find it, the veno should solo tank the boss. Naturally i was having fun with my friend, another BM, we were both 4 aps. The problem was not aps, just that having tt80 gear for 4 people and expecting aps to magically kill a boss b:cute. I dropped squad, later on i got pm from the cleric 20 minutes later, they found a 5 aps sin, +10 weapon, but after 3 squad wipes, sin left and they didn't complete their bh. People automatically assume, just because you are lvl 100 or 5 aps, you can roll every instance in 1 minute. People who can do such things, have highly refined gear, not every single 100+ has reached that lvl.

    Wait, what is a win hf b:worried? I'll remember to do that, next time. The funny thing is in vana, people think hf grows on trees. Little do they understand that while we spark+hf = 5 sparks compared to only spark = 3 sparks, we might have some chi issues. Or at times you pull foxes, but someone how one of them does not get killed, so naturally we cycle through our hf, genie, and they expect hf on their sparks.

    (And yes, no sarcasm here. Makes me angry, but also I enjoy reading it.)
    Is it 'cause you're glad to know you aren't the only one suffering with nabs at high levels? xD

    Here's one for you... I was out at west gate, and got attacked by a 2spark R9 sin, which, I only have about 6.4K HP buffed, I'm easy prey at west gate, I don't PK much to begin with, I don't even have a genie specially for PK, nor do I keep myself charmed because of how little I PK, so without any real counters for this, I died pretty easily, which I run the risk of and is entirely my fault if I go PK. However, this particular R9 sin for whatever reason took much pride in his easy kill and started talking mad ****. This sin is also known to not be a good PKer, and against equally geared targets dies off fairly easily because he doesn't know how to PK against people on his own level gear-wise. This is also a sin, who I easily held aggro from in Nirvana, I'm only Grade 13, AND this was before I got my +11, so it was +10 G13 vs +10 R9. Note, this IS RT, a PvE server, therefore IMO one should learn and master PvE on a class before PvP. And yes, there is more to a sin PvE than sparking and auto attacking. I even saw this sin die in Nirvana after a seal because he couldn't handle having aggro, but even then in Nirvana, I was called a nab because I wasn't letting him tank, when the whole time I was waiting for him before starting bosses, therefore the only reason he wasn't tanking is because I was using my skills (sin skills AND genie skills) to my advantage, while he was not.
