Yes it is annoying. But being able to team up with anyone in the game is one of the big selling points of this game in my book.
When I want to party with a friend I know I can party with him no matter our level differences. For those power levelers there is an easy solution.
IGNORE them.
[/ QUOTE ]
The thing is I would rather not have to ignore them, I'd rather not have them in the game at all and that also includes the farmers

Thing is, I'd rather not ignore all the annoying people I meet. We need an IQ restriction and series of social tests for this game.

As for the quoted bit, I'm neither for nor against Powerlevellers or Farmers: it's their accounts, their money they're paying with, they can play as they want. They don't tell YOU how to play YOUR game and you shouldn't impose your way of playing on them. You're not forced to accept their invites or to invite them to your team, you're not forced to endure them in anyway, that's what the Ignore command is there for.
Play your game and let others play theirs as they like it.

Let's face it, farmers are in every MMO, you can't stop them, just like you can't stop people eating fatty cheeseburgers.
There one of the groups in a MMO: there's the group who wants to have fun and just play the game normally, there's people who want to PvP, there's people who want to RP, and there's people who want to farm.
I can see a lot of farmers and PLers packing their bags if this suggestion is implemented.
Btw, suggested before - search ftw!
[/ QUOTE ]
I can agree to an extent... 
Stupid thing is it won't work, unless they remove levels and economy both farmers and PLers will continue to play, making the game worse for normal players won't stop them or even inhibit them for long, they'll just find another method.
[/ QUOTE ]
For me I disagree 100%, not only won't this stop them spam in /b, it will encourage spam /t because the farmers will need level 40s instead of lowbies to fill. It won't effect farmers significantly. But it will effect people who play together for fun, and remove one of the high level CoH zones from play.
I gotta agree with Raven on this one (which feels weird... :P )

I wouldn't mind waiting until level 40 for the badge it would make it more of an achievement to me.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's nice for you. Now, stop telling me how to play this game. I'm not in your face telling you how to play it.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hmmmm...how on earth is saying i wouldn't mind waiting to get a badge until a later level trying to tell you how to play your game?
Everyone would still be playing their game as normal....just gaining the badge a lot later in levels.
Oh and my opinion on this suggestion is just as valid as anyone elses , it may not go with the majority but its still an opinion.

As things stand, normal = getting the badge without level-based restrictions.
So if you got your suggestion for a level-based restriction you would indeed be requiring people to play the game differently.

Errr...it's not my thread or my suggestion
Apart from turning PI into a hazard zone (please no!!) the only way I could see of making it less welcoming for low level toons would be to increase the number of mobs hanging around in the main streets and increase their perception range so any un-sk'd low level toons get splattered instantly. Can't see the point though to be honest, nobody forces you to team with people 49 levels below you.
Put more Crey snipers on the rooves. That'll sort out the lowbies.

Adding my /unsigned to this, and in addition to all the other reasons, it'd totally ruin any future death races!
@FloatingFatMan
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Actually, I would like to see the opposite, and see you be able to enter any zone provided you were SK'd up to the correct level. Your mentor should be able to vouch for you.
Not a bad thought, Diggis. That would make some teams a lot easier to manage. If it ran off Combat Level rather than Security Level, then that would be possible. I'm sure there's some Game-World reason for it, unfortunately, but that would be easy to work around with your proposal.
As for the original idea... /unsigned, for a number of reasons, not least because under the current system there's always the Shadow Shards.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
this can been suggested sooo many times in the past and i dot agree with it (i used to before someone explained what would happen if this did happen and then succumbed to the following)

N.B. If you are going to do smt, please do it or GTFO and STFU nab
Oh, deathraces. Hadn't thought of that. Even more reason to /unsign it.

Oddly my wife and I often go to PI and hunt Fakes at 37 or 38 for the Unvieler badge and the XP. At that type of level the Accolade the badge is part of is very useful. We do it as a duo and don't bother anyone else.
So I'd say no to the OP for that reason alone. BUT having read all the other reasons I'd say NO to the OP as it impacts too much of the game.

As long as PLers take a polite "no" for an answer and don't hassle me, I don't have a problem with them.
I'd never want to be PL'ed myself but if they're paying their fees to NCSoft then we're both supporting the continuing development and, let's face it, existence of the game.
And one of my level 30's just got the portal corp day job badge (after being sniped to death once!) Just wish she could sneak into Cimeroa in the same way!
Definatly a no-no, wouldn't be fair if a level 39 player couldn't team up with their level 40 friend and do some fun portal mishes.
If your not interested in farming/filling/pl'ing i'd put that in your search comment. And failing that a simple "No thanks" reply to that tell will do the trick 99% of the time.
teaming and teaming with friends is one thing, getting off the ferry into P.I. to hear nothing but b-casts or LF Farm Team!, Plz PL ME! from lvl 2's is another.
Saw the talk of teleporters to PVP zones (which I agree we Should Have) I saw a reply of you are just too lazy to travel two minutes, hell from what I've seen P.I. is just filled with ppl too lazy to play the game at all.
Why I spend almost all my time on vill side, we got it there too but not nearly as bad as hero.
Brutes: Doc O'Bay (yup, was me lvl2-48) Doc O'Bay Jr., Sihing, Belphanior, Mr. Lich & Joker's Wylde MMs, Rad'Man Corr, Lockup Dom, Suicide King Stalker, Lord Florentine DB/WP Brute, Tygercide Scrapper......Scrapper?? what the heck is he doing here???
oooo, I got an idea!
Add the snipers lined up on the rooftops from the ferry to portal Corps where all the PLers seem to run to, that should make it at least a 'little' work for them and would be great fun for players to watch, could have the snipers make comments on "got another one of them (whatever) Sir" like reporting in LOL

Bad idea, they just get shot, go to the Hospital and then are closer to portal corps.
So they get a bit of debt (or none if below lvl 10) I doubt it'll have any impact on their level progression as they PL.
To be honest it'll just affect the rest of us when we go to PI at lvl 40.
Not really a serious suggestion, but you could scatter a bunch of mid-level (30-35, say) snipers all over the place. These would completely ignore all the toons that were "meant" to be there, or anyone with a mentor happy to walk them in, but would give the lowbie PLers a really hard time.
Several ways around this, of course.

I don't see that a huge amount, unless I am playing my fire-kin.
However, I have a couple of ways of dealing with silly team requests.
1 : Ask them what they will bring to the team that will enhance it. If I get a "huh? just PL me!" then they go on ignore. I've had someone respond previously with "Wit, charm and the occasional faceplant" ... they got an invite
2 : Say "you want to team then?". When they say yes I respond "Great, brb, just logging in my lvl 4 scrapper. Meet you in Atlas park ?"

Sometimes there is but much higher level of snipers flying through at lvl 42 I got hit with 5 shots on the road leading to portal corp
