I am getting increasingly frustrated by the power levellers, and people who barge through Pocket Legends without bothering to learn their class or boss tactics. In the last week I have had a level 55 ask me what disease was when I mentioned it in reference to Gold Fever, and a level 56 asked me what AOE was, and I've lost count of the number of players I've seen attacking a grate as others pass it by resulting on one occasion in a total wipe.
I have explained in other posts why I think power levellers are not just causing damage to other players, but missing out on so much of the wonderful game themselves. It has become such a problem that I have even considered not playing, and I really feel it is time to find a solution to suit everyone.
One idea, and I'm sure it must have been broached before, is for quests to give xp. That way you get rewarded for playing through the game properly. If you go back and do a level 5 quest at level 55 you get only a small portion of xp. Alternatively you only get xp if you are within the recommended level for the area.
I'd be interested to hear your opinions on this. As a power leveller would xp rewards make you more likely to do quests? As a dev is there a reason you decided not to give xp as a quest reward? Do you have any other ideas to stop power levellers?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
