For me, PLing isnt about envy or jealousy. It's about the principle of the matter. Once when I was waiting for a TF in Talos there was a level 10 controller running around on broadcast say "Will pay 50k to be powerlevelled". That's not the bit that bothers me its when they actually expect ppl to spend thier time giving them a free ride (50k aint alot really at lvl 31). I spent the best part of 2-3 weeks getting my tank to lvl 32 (yes 2-3weeks! i actually like to play missions and TF's rather than run around on the streets beating up random mobs) so why should I spend hours levelling up someone else.
I don't mind so much if it's a SG thing say a friend joins an SG but is too low to play with the others so they bring him up to speed. Or even if the person actually went fighting with them for buffs and stuff. But standing around just annoys me.
Someone said: "...you are paying to be entertained"
Lets look at this line shall we? I imagine that most of us have the goal of getting to lvl 50 wether it takes us 1 week or a month or a year. We want to get there. It "entertains" us when we hit that mark, after all that hard work we finally get their. Then as you get to a trainer to lvl up you see that lvl 1 guy you was talking to 5 days back who has now gotten to lvl 50 way before you have. You sat their doing all that hard work and someone who didnt do anything got their before you.
It's not very "entertaining" is it?
P.S i totally agree with the poster of the "throwing things out of place" bit. Lot's of you dont care about PLing but you probably will when it causes everythng to get screwed up
