    Xp's should be distributed equally amongst the group regardless of members of the party.

    In doing a party in events I observe that lots of players are not levelling up if for example they have a 5 level higher on the group. They don't receive XP since they have a "Gapper" on the group.

    This in the long run will make the game unbalanced why and how? Observe some players who take advantage of this. In 1v1 dm for example, players are paired or matched as per levels directly comparable or more or less 2 to 3 levels higher. Now farm for a week and follow your quests and you will be level 18 in a 4 days (example) right away.

    Those who use a "gapper" who have been playing this game for a year now for example will forever be level 18. Who do you think will win? This in turn can be exploited every time, and will make this game utterly unbalanced since all the new players coming to this game will loose death match games forever (and ever) since everybody now is low level yet with those items they can easily kill a regular quest abiding player on their normal level (I'm talking about those who wants to follow the story line of the game).

    Why not match 1v1 for example to ranks of fames? and why in parties in dungeons for example XP's are not distributed equally amongst the group?

    Look, I am in no position to judge or anything about the game, but this is I think so weird. just my opinion on this anyways.

    You're a little late writing about this now. Players have been complaining about this exploit for a very long time, but they have done nothing to stop it. Maybe they want it to stay that way.

    Eh. It's an old problem. But you could look at it another way. These low level twinks grovel and beg for favors to get a Gapper to help them. ...very undignified. If they are lucky, they are already part of a well organized Guild that has secondary Toons pulled in for grouping. They farm the same zones over and over for zillions of of hours and have basically created their own glass ceiling. Few of them will advance to Flag Bearer. Pull up the Leader board and you'll see the glass ceiling for this technique generally falls at about SKOTO on Tegan. Tegan has a few demarcations at the Marshall and Flag Bearer levels that will clue you into these ceilings. Don't let it trouble you too much and just try to have fun.

    They just fool themselves in the end.

    Its not exactly any fun overpowering noobs with your "twinked" character.

    It's the journey that is the fun - not "having the rank". You can't even be proud of the achievement if you know you just "cheated" the system.

    Although I agree with you in principle, I think some people actually do have fun beating the tar out of "normal" players with their twinked-up monstrosity characters. You or I would not have fun doing so, and most players would not. In order to have the psychology to understand it you'd have to be one of them. Twisted by the darkside ;)

    faulty logic

    1. multiaccount is forbidden
    2. account sale is forbidden, besides very few would purchase such a thing :D
    3. you're allowed to raise your char up to level 45 in 10 minutes, provided you buy enough xp pots
    4. with regular levelling it takes less than 11 days to raise up to level 40 and just 4 if you're addicted, even if you managed to play 2-3 chars at once you will not exceed this,just put a stress on your hands and a ban on your high leveled :rolleyes:

    grouping is flawed as well, you shouldn't be able to team with 6+, but it's too late for a change

    Nope, you can use the same email to create as many accounts as you like.
    It is not forbidden, because those accounts are his.

    Nope it is not too late, i asked CM Rick about this problem and he said, he would look into it and give us an answer later...so patience ppl, judgement day is coming for those low/mid lvl "leeches" who obtained everything through others.

    1.2.7 Users are authorized to create multiple accounts on the Portal. Several Games, however, prohibit the use of more than one Account by one and the same User (“prohibition of multi-accounts”). Detailed information is provided in the rules of the respective Game(s). Bigpoint strongly recommends that all Users with multiple Accounts carefully read the respective rules of the Game(s), because the use of multi-accounts in certain Games can lead to an immediate ban of the User.

    Furthermore, even
    in Games permitting Users to have multiple accounts, communication, or any kind of interaction whatsoever, between accounts of the same User is prohibited (ban on "pushing"). In particular, an Account may not be used to create advantages for another Account from the same User, for example, to transfer items or game currency from one Account to another Account of the same User, or to allow one Account to fight against another Account of the same User.

    This is one of those games that permits multiple accounts. But you have to respect the rules.

    yeah man said right .... just have fun..i know a guy (maybe a bunch do this) you start game with one computer, finish all make a level 45 dude, then in another computer , it now becomes the primary char, as you log in with both systems and then group yo self.. that is an awesome idea, the game has chance to make money as the player may decide to buy whatever, to help that char but you always have a gapper, yourself smart move guys...
