Official Death of Level Pacting

He didn't say that someone was power-leveling (though that might well be the case, power-leveling for someone else). He said that someone wasn't working for their reward.
If you're using leveling pact as a way to PL, you're doing it wrong.

I can kinda see where he's coming from. While I'm sure everyone here has the noblest of intentions, let's think for a moment. Who might want to offer to someone else the ability to be leveled without them having to do any work... How about RMTers? I mean, if I were an RMT company, it seems like a pretty good deal for me to be able to offer to someone the ability to be leveled to 50, and you don't even have to give me your account login information.
I hate to say it, but I've wondered for quite a while if level pacts were a good idea.
That having been said, if they can figure out some way to restore the feature, more power to 'em. I've never been in a level pact and probably never will, but I don't actively dislike them or anything.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Luckily threads cannot make you go bald. That would be a bold move by the OP to try and make such a thread though.
All right, so it's NOT the "official death of level pacting."
I am getting pretty tired of thread titles that baldly assert something to be true but turn out to be entirely opinion, or even just a question. |

Threads may not be able to make you go bald, but assertions can, in fact, be bald - or baldly made, as the case may be. The term is most commonly applied in the context of hair, but it does have broader applications. In this case "baldly" would be synonymous with "openly".

But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Speaking of things that are annoying, does anyone else find it as irritating that NCSoft apparently wants you to go everywhere else BUT their official site to get news and information about upcoming features? I don't want to have to go Facebook, Twitter, or Google + - the news should be here, where it belongs.
Welcome to the game and the forums.
A really good source of info for new players is www.paragonwiki.com - and you should also keep an eye on th offical CoH Facebook, Twitter and Google+ feeds for more information on the game and upcoming features and events. |

Yes.

Just don't push it too hard or the social media addicts will spam you with image macros. $DIETY forbid they use one of their unpaid interns to make up a text version of those way too long and undirected videos.

Unfortunately it's not just Paragon Studios that does this. Every MMO I've played almost never has the information you need on their site, (almost) always on some other 'fansite'.

What information specifically are you looking for that is not on the main site?

Yes. I don't mind having social media used to augment the main news site but not as the main news site. The 9 year old ruthless space game that some consider EVE-vil does an excellent job in this area.

Anything that's in a UStream for one if you count only official sources and not fan submissions/transcriptions to these boards. The i23 preview on that funky powerpoint site is another.
I can't think of any games off the to of my head that have that kind of info on their Main/Official websites.
And BPPhantom was referring to news info, I believe.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
If someone freeloaded, the other person in the pact has to work literally twice as hard to get XP. If you're using leveling pact as a way to PL, you're doing it wrong.
