Why do I frown upon powerleveling? Because it creates high level bears that dont know what taunt is for, mages that don't know what buffing/debuffing does, and birds that don't know proper times to thorn wall. Just some examples.

It is not hard, or time consuming to level normally in this game. I hit 56 on my first toon within 2 weeks of downloading PL, without any powerleveling. There's my two cents, lol.
