You're clarification did not help any. I think most people understood your position the first time, but like me found it ridiculous. Is your ideal group just 8 Blasters? Many of us, myself included, find Blasters boring AF to play. Self centered all out dps is not everyone's cup of tea, nor is it the ONLY way to play this game. I think you should actually play a Dom or Controller at end game before you try to speak on their role in groups. So far all you've done is explain that you do not understand what these AT bring to the table.

Actually I played beta. Back then and after release we PL'd people in Brickstown, with Fire/Kins, when the cap was 40. Any more questions?

Powerleveling keeps THIS person here. That is player retention. Powerleveling keeps me here as well. It adds to MY enjoyment of the game. Its something I enjoy. It does not matter to me how others view what I enjoy in games. This argument is as pointless now as it was during live. What's the end goal? Remove XP from AE? With less and less people logging in each week you really think intentionally turning away people is a good idea? People will leave. Maybe people you could care less for, but the community will suffer as a result.

Hmm, im a power leveler who has been here since day one. What does that make me?

If I were in your shoes I'd be making a Brute, but thats just me. There are so many great options for survivability and damage in the majority of the sets. Having a farm brute on you roster to fund your other escapades is a HUGE help. My second toon was a Rad/Fire brute. He does very well in all content outside of AE, have done it all with that character. Every time i get the itch to try out a new build I can just fire up the INF making machine and viola decked out in all purps and ATOs before you know it. Having that farm toon on a second account is even better...but thats a whole other conversation.
