If you saw that as me talking down to you, I'm sorry you misinterpreted what I said. Â But it beggars the point. Â
If I can be level 60 and play a weak character, why can't I be level 1 and play a strong character? Â Isn't that a bit of a double standard on the part of the RPer? Â
"You have to be game strong to be RP strong."
Don't you then have to be game weak to be RP weak? Â And I don't mean hiding your level, I mean genuinely a weak character, whose player leveled them up solely for certain gear because they like the styles, or because they enjoy the PvE aspect of the game, but don't want their in-game level to reflect in their RP?
Also, Kellach, what about on an alt? Â If I play an alt whose slain a primal, I do know how the fights went, because I did them on my main, and re-watched the cutscene numerous times. Â Does that experience count for nothing for that character, if I happen to not want to level that character past a certain level before I start RPing with them?
And considering the level cap has increased, does that mean I have to be 60 in all of my classes to be strong as those things? Â Is 50 no longer sufficient because that's no longer end game? Â Where do we stop counting OOC achievement as part of our writing exercises power level? Â Do I have to level Culinarian to 60 before Glioca continues making food? Â What about Weaving? Â
There's an inherent problem in considering power level in a game where certain elements of the game achievement changes based on things like expansions, patches, and hotfixes.
