Only if you are duoing really. If you have a full group in most cases one
dud won't stop the fun. If one dud player is stopping the fun and isn't
learning what to do reforming the group is easy enough. The other players in
the group will want to reform and the dud player gets blacklisted. Finding
powerleved duds in your group is rare really. I think most just want to solo
higher areas.

I don't see why you would be in **many** peoples blacklists. In fact it
helps make sure you are in the right peoples' blacklists. Why party with
people who's playstyle is not your own ? If someone in the group asks about
someone else joining just ask what level. It is very easy to state you don't
want a high level in your group stealing the experience, character earned
points and RL fun, taken from you.
If you want to get on a lot friends lists simply start leading groups. Most
like to join groups. Few like to start and lead them. The /who and /tell
gets most groups going by you doing it you can pick the level range you
like.

I disagree. The best reward is the fun. Those getting powerleveled if they
find it fun so what..
As far as coin loot or items go the person getting power leveled can't get
anything more than what can be had in the mail or the auction house. A BoP
blue 40 levels above you isn't very useful and worth only what the vendor
will pay.
> There definitely should be a level range in groups, period.
I have played a few different MMORGs and find the fewer game enforcements
there are the more fun it is to more people. Good games with lots of
enforced "visions" lose a lot of players. The more rules there are about
level ranges and powerlevel the more appealing it becomes for some to profit
from it. Those that find a way to power level start businesses charging a
fee for power leveling. Someone always finds a way to power level.
I think WoW has done it the right way allowing anyone to group with anyone
and limiting item use on level.
Any one can choose thier own style of play that they like.
There definitely should be choice and freedom for all, period.
