I only read through a few pages of this so forgive me if my question has been asked.
To those of you who equate class level to character power level, do you also agree that the only things your characters should be capable of doing are the skills you earn during the level up process? Or do you allow yourselves to make up abilities in roleplay? Because I feel that if you're going to base your character's perception on the game's mechanics, then the game's mechanics should be the limit of your character's skill.
For my own opinion, I think that character level doesn't matter and I have all the old jobs/crafts/gatherers at 50, and will have everything at 60 eventually. I level them just to have clothes to wear. If you want to be level 10 and roleplay a hardened veteran, that's fine by me. Sell it to me IC, not OOC.
