[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 5097609, member: 9789"] Right. I guess I'm still wondering: is that really possible? I mean, playing a character and even just getting to level 2 takes months. You can't really "not try" or else you'd be hurting your own XP machine. And you're still using up valuable PC "slots" of your own. I guess it just doesn't seem that plausible to me that someone would slack off on a feeder PC - especially since it would be extremely obvious that this is what you were doing with that character. And ultimately it still means there's always a level 1 guy around, which is the point of all this - right? Edit: besides, it seems like the "feeder" problem would take care of itself: at some point, there's no reason to continue to level yourself that way, because no one else is that high of a level and you'll just be waiting around and not playing. Also, taking a level 1 to level 2 should take about the same amount of time as taking a level 5 to level 6, right? Except 1-> 2 and then retiring to feed a level 5 is WAY less efficient - that's not going to make much difference to the level 5 guy at all. The only way it would work well is to level up a LOT - and that means you've got to really DRIVE your games, not be passive in them! [/QUOTE]
