Why Would You Sony Roll Me?

[Icey Gregorio]

Just wondering as this new patch 1.9 sucks in my opinion... I played EQ2 for probably about 4 years before they decided to remove level locking because a bunch of weak incompetent babies cried about it over and over on their forums. If you didn't know the result of Sony's move there... Well it pretty much killed off all of their pvp servers(Which pvp was the best in EQ2 and the best aspect of it in my opinion). Used to be full raids of twinks at t2(Levels 10-19) at each others cities gates to do battle and then almost no one. Some of us here don't like to invest the time to get the max rank. Some of us like to just twink out a quick t2 toon so we can enjoy some good ol fashioned pvp which I believe Rift had offered till yesterday.

My question Trion, why did you remove the level locking? This is a really stupid move I believe. Just started playing this game since beta(Have been busy in real life) and loved how I could level lock like I could in EQ2 before Sony screwed up their game like they did SWG. So many people I know boycott Sony for removing level locking and well obviously removing/screwing up the game all together. They like to ruin anything good they have going it seems. Yet you seem to follow in their foot steps yeeears later and not know of the consequences of the actions you just made? I just don't understand this move at all. Even worse in terms of "Following in Sony's steps" that you introduced 'Mentoring" a concept back from EQ and you didn't even bother to change the name to it? Sadly disappointing at the moment and wondering why I should continue playing this game.

I disagree. The EXP lock was the biggest mistake they made - they fixed it with the mentoring system and its good as it is!
All the full equipped, XP locked, uber twinks do not ruin the pvp balance for the small players any more. Maybe there is not much pvp left between 11-49, but at least it is balanced.

I still fail to see how it was twinking when the gear was and is extremly easy to get...or is running a couple dungeons or so too hard for ppl to get gear in the lower brackets?

[Asteldian]

I was indifferent to the twinking as I was unaffected by it due to being more interested in the grown up PvP. But all in all I could not understand the whining, if you were to lazy to get yourself properly geared (takes a. Few dungeon runs or crafting) then deal with it. People I knew who twinked simply played the game as normal then locked before the new tear to enjoy the gear they earned. If you don't want to earn the gear that's your problem ans not the fault of so called twinks

What i don't understand: Can't you mentor down to lvl 19 and still do open-world pvp like the stuff you described?

Pointless comment imo....seriously though if you think what those players were doing was twinking then what is it when an R40 now R50 goes up against a fresh 50 with little to no pvp gear? I'm guessing official "twinking"?

[Decosse]

I'm impressed, I actually thought we would get to at least a day after 1.9 was out before someone whined about the XP lock removal. Thanks, I just lost a bet with myself......

Oh, and we really really take to heart your opinion on 1.9 cause you've had soooooo much time playing it and you've been soooooo prolific on the forum as well. Wait a minute.....

Mmmmm twinkiesssss

LOOOL. Aren't you the one crying like a incompetent baby now? Whats the difference?
You think you are entitled to your twink gear and other players are not entitled to complain about it because they must play the game exactly how you wish to play it - against your farmed gear.

again,

LOOOOL.

If you've paid attention to these forums at all, you'd know Sariina's primary contribution is flying into threads regarding twinking and making antagonistic posts attacking the "general" group of twinks, without providing any rationale, reasoning, or logic.

Most people are glad twinking exp lock is dead. The game is much better off.

Other players should suffer because you don't feel like leveling up and playing pvp like an adult.

If you don't have enough time to rank up and level up then you play very little. Yet your behavior can negatively impact many more players who play more than you. Seems easy who they should be looking to help out most.

Woo! False premise + attacking the premise! VICTORY!

Oooh you know what? You just dont like to hear any rationale or reasoning about twinks. This is a FACT because there is just soo much wrong with the power creep in games that is just funy hearing anyone defending it.
Twinks - learn to play.

Level locked players being able to enter WFs with non level locked players was a HORRIBLE idea and never should have been added in the first place. Just a bad decision listening to whinners to add it in the first place, if you do not want to progress your character at 50, don't. At the sametime, others should not be forced to change the natural progression of the game just to suit your laziness.
