    Lol, I actually check the forums two or three times a day, yet I only login about once a week, and only for an hour or two. Grinding for coin gets extremely tedious very quickly in this game, even with 2x on. Especially with no more Mirages in solo TT.

    What, pray tell, even hinted at this? They would have made more money if they left the snowmen in as they were (shops would die, leaving no way to get anything except farming/buying it from AH/using Gold) than they will by taking the snowmen out. There is currently no chi stone purchase option in the boutique... so how exactly is removing them making more money?

    They are too "square" to leave the killer snowman in as they were. Would have been something they did right.

    The snowmen are non-aggressive; the shops wouldn't die lol. Unless you were referring to lag; which could be combated by just turning effects off.

    On 2x drop rate however... they'd be dropping quite the amount of chi stones though.

    Actually, this latest batch was attacking back with an extensive AoE (reported by EU servers, confirmed by GMs), which is why they were removed. Too many of those in West Archosaur and we would have had a bunch of dead shops.b:surrender That would have been worse for the F2P players than anyone, really. Also, good luck leveling a lower-leveled alt when you would have been dying.

    I'd just move my shop to the top of a building. Would have been really funny seeing all the cats perched up there like birds.

    The game been dead to me for couple of years. I lost my motivation to try one month in when I heard that archers is weak endgame and started to play way less than I did. I remember guildmates complained that I AFK too much in game. Didn't like it that they introduced genies in the game. I hated Perfect World with the release of Tideborn introducing new classes.

    TBH, if I had known that archers were bad endgame, or that so many players were going to rolled archer on Lost City. I would've roll Cleric, or listen to VVind during beta and play BM and would probably play until LTX quit the game. I really didn't expect archers to be so popular because I played on PW-MY Oracle as archer and saw only three other archers around Ancient Dragon City(one of them being Fantassy whom I saw everyday at west gate).

    I envy the veteran players that played on PW-MY and left due to stupid reason like WarLord. They got to play a game more enjoyable on PW-MY longer than I did on PWI.

    That part I had to laugh at, cause not many people do archosaur quests anymore to level alts. I think I'm the only one that does anymore now. I was helping my brother the other day with his archosaur quests, and at broken bow bluff where it used to be crowded is now deserted with maybe two other players running around. It's sad. Now the noobs join a faction, then beg for a high level to get them to 100 in FC. I've had a couple ask me to power level them, even though they didn't even know how to use some of their skills. So saying they are in arch is ridiculous. It's only the cluttering catshops.

    Lost city is deader than elvis presley. The tw map, the pvp and even the pve is all controlled by r9s. In wc theres spam for r9 only nvs, and even r9 only bh's.

    In pvp 8/10 times you will die to a r9 +12
    1/10 times a sin will double spark you in stealth,
    and the last 1/10 you will be attacked by an entire squad.

    Our maps strongest is just the ones with the most r9s (an entire 80 for tw) Its a little sad I remember just a few months ago everything was still broken but now its just =/

    Its just too late, even if they removed power leveling, there are just too many 100+ ppl already.
    Like with r9, its ruining pk and owerall is op but so many ppl already has it, you would think that endgame gear is something that is almost impossible to get but half the freaking games have it.

    Nobody must use powerleveling.

    I started 6 month ago and I am now Level 83.

    If anybody want to do powerleveling then he should do it. If somebody do not want to use powerleveling (as me) he can level slow.

    I see here no problem.

    This is nothing with money making or some else. It is just the option for the customers. They can level faster if they want or they can level slow. The customer can choose.

    Nope. There's three of us. I level my sin there, and will be soon leveling my other toons there too. To be quite honest, I regularly buff newer players there, so I'm surprised that you didn't see any, being that we're on the same server. You are right about the begging to be dragged through FC though. One of the saddest things that I've seen was a level 3 cleric standing in snowy village looking for a squad,...and sure enough they sent me a random invite, and sure enough I ignored it...and flew away. A few days later that cleric does the same thing, except they're higher leveled now, and decide to SPAM me with invites...until I finally accepted, and explained to them why I could not take them through a SOLO fc run. (I am a cleric...geared in TT90 armor (working on TT99), with a TT99 weapon...and you want a solo run. [>.>]

    With that said, I've seen quite a bit of normal questers, and ones that are really trying to get on fc. However, its not always their fault in total.

    *I've seen factions recruiting STARTING players that are just barely learning the game. Then they greet them, and teach them a little bit, and have them recruit starting players as well. The job was pretty much to stand there, and anyone who was there, to send an invite...so they sent several to me too. (I was there randomly to buff the newbies and teach them.) Often, these factions level them through a fc run before they even have a chance to start learning. To be fair, who doesn't want to level faster if they can.

    *Too many people calling other players noobs....especially at lower levels.

    *The SP glitch discouraged a lot of players. Some of them started fc runs because of that. Not like they could actually DO there quests after all.

    @OP. I understand what you're saying, but I have to confess, that for me the thrill isn't so much getting to level 100 after SLOW grinding, and quests that offer pitiful XP. I'd have honestly become bored, and irritated, and stopped playing probably. If I'm not seeing at least some sort of progress when I'm trying very hard to level, I'll be irritated, and not happy with it. You have a point, but speaking from a different end, I don't really care how a player levels as long as they learn their craft.

    just like i said before. idc if people are power leveled or not, but i care if someone don't know how to play in team, like some dd (not saying sins cuz there are other like psychics) come, sparks like mad, take aggro, run towards cleric and boss one-hit them all with phys aoe, and then the rest of team die also.

    now people imo are abusing this number.

    pointless thread.
    People are already at 105.
    I know a lot that have over 10 100+ alts.
    yeah, sure, take out power lvling, for what? so it will take 8-9 months for someone get a char to 100?
    There are decisions that once taken there is no turning back. Allowing powerlvling is one of them. Live with it or quit if you can't stand it.

    Funny that ONLY the dumb ****s that work for PWE would actually give two ****s about stupid ****ing player shops, instead of OH I DON'T KNOW -- Maybe leaving the snow men in for the people ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME... NOOOOOO that would have been to logical, and yes, the first time PWE actually 'did anything right'...

    Who gives a **** if they were killing shops, tell the shops to set up somewhere else, or just wait until the holidays are over OMG b:surrender

    This is because the game itself is 'PERFECT' (ok it's really not, but it is a GREAT game)!

    It's just too bad that the companies creating and running it are TOTALLY TRASHING IT!
