and i think steps like level limiting some parts of the game is needed.
In Game E-Mail: i suggest an increase of the number of accounts you can add to your block list, i know am not the only one who gets e-mail spam and i hate it just like anyone else would, but my block list full of nothing but people who send me stuff, so i suggest we increase the number of names you can add to your block list
Conclusion: limiting the top areas to only 40+ or 38+ people would benefit both higher levels and lower levels, higher levels would be able to enter the area without having to go to PI2/Grandville 2 making it easier for them to find a team and enjoy the game and lower level would have more teams to pick from. with the topic o e-mail spam, less e-mail spam you will get while playing the game

in this post i will try to explain my two suggestions on level limiting and E-Mail Block, it is my first post on the forums and hopefully i don't screw things up to much
Level Limiting: i believe there should be level limits on Grandville & Pergrine Island, the reason i suggest this is that doing so will create more teams for lower levels and higher levels. i been playing the game for almost 18 months now and i personally hate standing in one area looking for a team or trying to create one when everyone around my level is in PI or Grandville asking to be farmed, i know i can play the game alone but this is a MMORPG i would like a to play alone side other heros/villians, i just think the farm thing has gotten a little to out of control (in MY opinion) (will continue to next post)

No.
This has been suggested a great many times, so I'll try not to be snarky about my answer, but no promises. Fact of the matter is, the *BEST*, hands down, feature of this game is the sidekick/exemplar system. It's the one feature that has spoiled me for pretty much any other MMO. Limits on that is BAD. If a friend has a level 30 defender, and my tanker is having issues with an EB or a AV in PI, I should be able to SK him into my mission. Period. If that ability lets people farm and exploit the SK system, then so be it. It's a small price to pay for the most awesome feature that the gaming world has seen in a long time.

I would rather other suggestions to this. Increasing the number you can have on the list is simply prolonging the inevitable. I'd like to either see a separate list for people ignored with /ignorespammer or the email spam button from your regular ignore list, or the ability to limit who you can receive emails from.

I agree with Fleeting and Ladymage. It's a bummer you can't find people to team with, but that doesn't mean people should be forced to a place they have to team with you.
Instead of just standing around waiting for a team, or using the search tool to find whoever happens to be on at your level when you're looking, take time to build a network of friends. Get into an active Supergroup, even if you only play a couple times a week. Remember to consistently add people to your Global Friendlist when you team with them, things go well, and you both have fun. Not only do you start to play with them consistently more often if they have an alt near your level, you can get in touch with them if they're on anotehr alt. Most people I know are willing to switch if it means hanging with a friend. If not, then you can take legitimate advantage of the SK system and possibly join them on their team, even if it's in a high level zone.
Restrictions have their place when it comes to special content, but not when it comes to core things everyone has to do to get to 50. The game system is designed to let people slide up and down the progression easily and still have fun without a lot of arbitrary restrictions like the one you propose. One thing I hated most about WoW when I played was I had to find the right place to play and was cut off from my high level friends in terms of playing with them, since I got nothing for it until I was up to that level.

I know this suggestion has been brought up numerous times in the past, and it was vetoed everytime. However, the motivation of the suggestion:

I personally hate standing in one area looking for a team or trying to create one when everyone around my level is in PI or Grandville asking to be farmed. I know I can play the game alone but this is a MMORPG, I would like to play along side other heros/villians. I just think the farm thing has gotten a little too out of control.

does has a point.
I don't know what can be done. I think the dev does a pretty good job in publishing new game contents. New players need to play at least several toons to exhaust the content. If players choose to farm (not only PI/GV farm, also other forms of farming like doing newspaper over and over) for whatever reason, what can you do? They pay their subscription to do the things they want.
For JadeWarrior, the only thing that I can think of is if you can find somebody with a similar mind as yours, then you can form a little fun group to play with them regularly.
My problem with this suggestion is that I've been playing for years now. When I convince a friend to join me and play the game also they start at level 1. Unfortunately on my "favorite" servers I've got 2 pages of toons full, and don't particularly feel like paying for more slots as of this point.
So Then I pull out one of my toons who could be sitting in the 40's and I do like my exp. So I help my friend get his jetpack and take him to PI so I can run my mishes.
Putting in the level range is fine for "extra" zones like Cimm and RWZ. But if it's not a hazard zone it would really restrict the ability to play with your friends..
For further solutions, find some of the "social" chat channels for your server of choice and talk to people there.. It's not always that hard to find people to team up with.

Angelic Heart - Peacebringer
Maelstrom - Elec/Elec Brute
Novastar - Energy/Fire Blaster
The Sidekick system, and the ability to play with a large level range is one reason why this game in superior to others. Why would we do anything to counteract this?

Even if she weren't (in my experience) vastly overstating the case, it /still/ wouldn't justify the fact that her proposed 'cure' would be much, much worse for the game than the supposed disease ever could be.

In fact, I'll go one further: Aside from PvP zones and the Hamidon areas, I'd like to see all level limits in Hazard Zones removed -- if it's somewhere that missions can occur in, make sure everyone on a team can get in regardless of their levels. I've had one too many fun, good RP teams break up because two of the people on it were below thirty and the arc we were RPing took us to Crey's Folly.
