Disable level locking in PVP until level 35

T2 lockers are the most annoying retarded noobs in game and chase away a large number of potential new players from Nagafen.

It's next to impossible to start fresh on Nagafen without plat or help from another player to get past level 20. And that's because a hardcore minority of players on Nagafen lock their toons at 17, 20 or 25 and then play the entire game that way in groups of six, rolling noobs nonstop, trying to get high level PVP titles.

You cannot get a realistic view of PVP in EQ2 until you get past T2, because the idiot noobs who perma level lock at T2 and play the entire game that way ruin the lower level game. This sucks horribly for new players in treasured gear who don't even have all their equip slots filled.

If you don't want to turn off level locking, you should at least remove those GD stupid pvp titles. In my opinion, those dumb titles greatly reduce the fun of PVP by making the goal of PVP to get a stupid title rather than to have fun killing people.

Agreed, it turns away new players big time. Or you have to rush past those levels just to get away from it and miss 90% of the content and AA you could gain.

Agreed for the same reasons.

Locking in general on a pvp server is silly imo. Want more AA? Quest out in the world where it isn't safe.

As one who has played both sides of this fence-as one of the first to 70 when Nagafen opened and later as a level locker I can feel I can safely say that at least 90% of all of the reasons people give as to why they lock are complete bullshit-I know because I made half of them up. It's all about owning people, pure and simple. If the people who lock in T2 were really "looking for the good fights" they wouldn't be spawn camping newbie bitches in quest gear at the DLW Fair. It's about grief, and nothing else.

You understand that the problem wont go away even if they suddenly disable LVL lockers attlist not at first, does already at 20 and AA cap whit "awesome" gear will stay there for some time just pvp and not questing and slowly lvl up. SoE made the rules and its bitting em in the ass unforlty and makes PVP not "fun" for most late joiners.

Only way to really make a change is opening a new server. and I doubt that will happened

The only thing gayer than level locking is the faggots on the official forums (could end the sentence here but,) who make elaborate guides and recommend to true newbs that they should also lock right at level 10, gear up, and max faction before moving on to the rest of the game.

It just perpetuates the problem and further feeds these morons.

Also the "experience all the content" excuse is probably the worst bullshit I've ever heard. Anyone who makes it should be IP banned, tbh.

Agreed, it needs to go. Shit like this is why I refuse to even bother with pvp.

Darkhain · 11-19-2007, 06:14 PM

I hate lvl locker, and you really don't need it.
So lvl as fast as possible, AA will come with it.
Make money by killing named and selling master on broker.
Buy always full adept III + MC ( or loot even enought before lvl40 ).

T2 pvp is the worse pvp ever btw ( really too heavily unbalanced with class and stuff )

Level locking? How about damage spell resists, that's why *I* don't PvP.
