So far the only good post on here has been the one that talks about datamining being skewed. Frankly, the people who whine about powerleveling being a way around having to do the "work" is bunk. The reason some people powerlevel is because a majority of their day is spend doing REAL WORK at the WORKPLACE.
The tone of anti-powerlevelers in general is the same as the "game balance" garbage that pops up all over the place. Why can't my controller do this? What can't my blaster do that? Followed by the distant sound of nerf, nerf, nerf.
If you think your controller is weak, don't make a controller. If you *do* make a controller, accept the fact that he's weak (something I don't agree with, it's all in how you play the archetypes).
The parallel is: if grinding your way to level 50 is the way you choose to go, don't whine that it takes you forever. You chose that path. On the flip side, you'll be the one who knows the streets like the back of your hand and can field questions about task forces without breaking a sweat. It's all pros and cons and no one is changing anyone else's mind here.
I gotta say again, though, great post on the datamine skewing.
