That's because at T8, you could assume that it wasn't somebody who bought the game the day before and got WTFPWNED as soon as he stepped outside. If you can't handle it in T8, that's fine. You've moved through the levels and should know what to expect. I know 3 people on a personal basis who walked away very early on simply because of the initial griefing that was rampant. If you want to blame somebody, point the fingers at the tools who locked at 14. Anyone denying it was detrimental to getting new blood either was a griefer or had their eyes closed, because that **** was just unpleasant as a first experience to somebody that was new to the game. Remember, it wasn't levelling in Gorowyn. It was Antonica & CL. Not a whole lot of places to go to level up or get to know the game. But this is an old debate, with a couple of hundred pages ping-ponging the blame in pages past.
Yeh, I agree with this. Perhaps removing pvp exp beyond lvl 30 would be a good idea as you suggested. This would give people an opportunity to get used to the game somewhat (then get crushed in EL).
A happy medium can be achieved I believe.
