Ah, Michael. Thank you SO MUCH for the nice "lift me up". I have so much to
look forward to! (smile).
Anyway, I'd rather know AHEAD of time, rather than getting there, saying
"What the..." and then annoying GMs about it. "My XP bar is bugged!!!
Someone help me!!". Yeah... sure.... heheheh
At level 30, I saw it first hand. It WAS slower to level, took several days
rather than the typical couple of days. There were many times I would say to
my party, 'Guys.... it's moving... backwards.... argh... someone... help...
me...."
That does bring me to another point: Love how a lot of players, who see that
you are above 30th, call me a "power leveller". I kinda squint my eyes
because, though I understand what they are trying to imply, I have NO idea
HOW to "power level". I kill things that are blue to red for me. I get XP. I
gain levels. I do all of this while hunting for rare items and hanging out
with friends. It's almost as though they insinuate that I "cheat" to level,
or have some unfair advantage to levelling. I guess sometimes I DO have an
advantage: it's called a group. A group of friends. I have ALWAYS made
better level progress while grouped than I do while solo. Some bards have
claimed great success while soloing. Guess I fit into the geriatric list of
30+ year olds who play this game who just CAN'T SOLO. I find it difficult,
unexciting, and frustrating. Most of these people (though I admit, less than
a dozen) who accuse me of "power levelling" have been seen running around
solo. Well, my friends, drop the attitude, and get a group. Be loyal to that
group, and level yourself. That, or quit being jealous (smile)
Anyway, I am bored, so thought I would rant a bit. Thanks!
