What are your views on this?
I was having an arguement with someone who botted before. They said that since I didn't get all of my exp. by myself that I wasn't legit either and that it was just as bad as botting. I don't know about that.. I mean, I haven't even been power leveled that much, maybe one or two levels at most. I didn't really know what to say in my defense.
Is power leveling really that bad? Can I still consider myself legit? =/

There was a topic about this before
Botting != Powerlvling by a legit
Botting = Powerlvling by a bot
I still consider someone legit when being powerlvled by a legit

Oops, sorry. I'm no good searching things. -.-
I only get power leveled by people in my guild, if they feel up to it, no bots. =)

If the experience is coming from the powerleveleer's effort and and not from a macro tool, then consider yourself legit.

Powerlevelers ruin everything for people who actually train ON MONSTERS THEIR LEVEL, BY THEIR OWN.They KS the shit out of you and you can't train anywhere.
I was playing at Mujigis, some pwleveler decided I have no right to be there, went forward a bit, another pwleveler. Rest is full of gold bots. FUN.
Why can't those losers level up by their own ? it's Farking faster than a bot now.And wow a player does it, he either owns money for that or 'helps friends' by ruining the game for others.
It also ruins the 1-40 economy BIG TIME. The whole 4 first cities are EMPTY.
Thanks powerleveling.

ok lets make this confirmed.
STOP WHINING ABOUT HOW YOUR POOR AND CANNOT AFFORD POWERLEVEL. THE PEOPLE GETTING POWERLEVELED WORKED HARD FOR THEIR MONEY JUST LIKE YOU WOULD (unless they bought it of course but  ) SO DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT STUFF YOU CANNOT AFFORD.
AND POWERLEVEL IS ONLY BOTTING WHEN THE POWERLEVELER IS KILLING THE MONSTER BY BOTTING.
SO STOP WITH THESE TOPICS NOW!!!!!!!!![/u]

Worked hard for their money ? pwleveling barely costs anything.
Fact is, 90% of low levels are doing it, a lot of them probably for free too.

You can take your time to get to whatever level you want, it is all about how strong you are in your mind you feel weak because all those bots are killing you in pvp? well that says something about you not about them.
bringing real life in this discussion is even weaker, no one forces you to be a certain level in this game you are the one who decide what to do and when to do it, you don`t have to log in each day no one forces you to.
botting is a personal thing but don`t try to make up excuses to feel better for your sad mentality, you are simply a weak mind if you cant resist what everyone else is doing, you probably call me retarded right now just because i don`t do what everyone else is doing (botting) but i don`t like to be another number in this community.
killing mobs is a thing you consider a time waste? well sorry to wake you up but that is what gaming is all about "wasting time" it is not a job you are forced to go to each day it is a thing you do when you are bored.
to be back ontopic
you are not legit when you taxi from a bot.
you are when he actually handgrinds.
do whatever you want as long as you keep it for yourself and stop using stupid excuses.

PowerLeveling is Legit because it's part of the game, you dont use an outside application or anything, that's the who point of acadamys, so if SRO is encouraging bad gameplay then O_O, of course i wouldn't be suprised

Okay, thanks guys. =)
Sorry about making another topic. I'm new here and didn't see any around.. I did a search, but the results had nothing to do with what I was looking for. =P
I rarly ask for power leveling though, I think leveling myself is more fun, or with a party. =)

I've seen so many of these topics it's silly.
I made and screwed up my first character, didn't plvl at all.
My cleric I created, did all the quests on my own, and took to level 20 by myself. It's a big part of the game, and if I didn't do the quests, how can I help my guildmates or those who have questions?
Going up past 25 got a little tougher, so yes, my guild assisted me. We sit in Vent and talk to each other while we're doing it and discuss the best weapons to use against the monsters, what type of damage they do, etc. Even while getting leveled, I always tried to help out even though it means I died a few more times against a higher lvl monster.
At level 37 I'm now to the point where I can help other lower level 17-25 people, and of course I will do so by both partying up and powerleveling.

I don't think getting power leveled by a legit or a guild member makes you not legit.
The problem is when getting power leveled becomes a necessity to play the game. Case in point, when I played Guild Wars, if you didn't get power leveled or rushed to get the strongest armor, you were already 2 steps behind, as most of the people who participated in the low level PvP had armor and weapons much stronger than yours.
Getting power leveled isn't a bad thing, grinding is long and boring, and on some of the older servers it's impossible to find a group of other level 20's to hunt with, so I see why people do it.
The other problem, is that these new characters don't learn anything about the game, or how to be effective. 90% of this game is learn as you go, and by not spending the time on the keyboard, your cheating yourself out of really knowing your character.

They should do a level-distance limit in an exp share party.

here's what it comes down to.
the OP's having a hard time coming up with a defense b/c there shouldn't need to be ne defense at all. u gain exp w/o grinding urself. that's the definition of plvling. u either got plvled or u didn't. who the hell cares? let the whiners cry some more.
