Why ? Tell me why ?
Chinafarmers complained no one is buying their power-lvling anymore, so you applied this fix ?

Everything was great the way it was before this hotfix.

No you can't even split up in the Battlegrounds for fast exp.. ? This makes absolutely no sense. No split-up will also mean less rvr in the battlegrounds.

This hotfix is toal crap.

Same goes with the Glass quest. I mean after 4 weeks of this plats farming it is way too late for the hotfix anyways..

Thought you were on a good move with all the new quests and stuff etc. but this is a huge step backwards. Especially pushing powerlvl-bots again.

It's not bad at all. Stick your bot to your toon.

People were leeching in groups. The quests were too easy to farm with. You could literally have 5 afk's at the quest giver and 3 people killing mobs. You could farm 30-40p/hour doing it. It was too much/too easy.

If you choose to do it that way. EIther way, it decreases the rate you can complete it then turn it in. You couldn't realistically expect them to not lessen either the reward or the credit radius~

Even if I can understand the Glass-changes to some point, though I am not conform with them, I see absolutely no reason for the battleground changes. So you all just are happy with paying plats to some macro groups for pushing your alts ? Or you really like to lvl it up by hand for the 100th time again... ? No one can seriously agree to that.

The pace you were able to lvl your alts in a normal lvl grp, spit up to the three spots in each bg, turning in together, was quite fine. Short, but not too short. It caused players to play together, so each one could kill at a different spot. Now people will go back to solo+alt, for there's no more real benefit from grouping, everyone can kill 5 blue mobs on his own.

i leveled, by hand before catacombs 80 or so characters to level 50, ml10, before the release of LOTM i was up to 150 or so characters...

i had 1 of every class on Mordred, Gaheris, (hib)Palomides, (mid)Merlin, and (alb)Bors

plus some duplicates of more common utility classes like animist, theurg, cleric, shaman, druid and that type...

all level by me, no PL and most of it before task dungeons and easy mode leveling...

i did it because thats what MMOs are about... thats the point... play the characters have fun, leveling, grinding, raids, pve in general is what the majority of MMO players are after...

Are you serious? You can still do 1-50 in under a week. I just did it by grouping in the BG's and not splitting up. It's still ridiculously fast.

It used to take 2 months to get to 50. Now it takes less than a week to do it almost solo.

The glass change is valid

The BGs not so much, I wouldn't have touched the BGs personally.
