I don't think it's so much the frowning upon of powerleveling, but frowning upon those members of the powerleveling community who haven't grasped the game. Aikiebo is actually changing my stance a bit.. yes, there are powerleveled players who play like a pro. And there are non-powerleveled players who absolutely fail and have egos the size of Texas. Have we actually looked at a group with a substantial number of players, and then kept tabs on them from level 1 thru 55(6)? I'm not going to go and encourage players to powerlevel, or do it myself, but if I was just joining, where's the proof. I'm half-concerned the main reason I discourage is it the community's views as a whole.
