Who here WANTS GW2 to have a level cap...

Ok, with GW2 alpha dated sometime... soon, we will obviously be knowing the answer. But maybe, just maybe this poll will help them decide. On the issue of leveling... well, GW1 the highest achievable level is 20 and the dev's stated that in GW2 they want a much higher level cap or even... none. The issues I have with this is the following,

1. IG Economy: GW1 had 55 monks dominating farming when the build was made public, this gave those with a max level monk in Droks or a similar end-game area a large advantage because they could solofarm what groups of 8 had difficulty with. With 5 classes, X professions (most likely 10), and X-1 secondary professions (again, this is an assumption there may be no 2ndarys) that makes a large amount of combinations. Lets say the area your farming has level 150's, your solo farmer will probaly want to be level 120'ish or higher... just think how long THAT would take to farm. To become level120, I have 5mill xp on my most played charactor and I doubt it even touches the xp that would be needed for that level.
   
2. People with lives: This is the main issue. Those of us who see the light of day will have problems getting into PvE groups because everyone would be saying (GLF 2 Level 90+ norn to go... sound similar to todays r10 norn which is hard for those with lives to farm). So on this issue... it would affect many of us because our lives wouldn't let us achieve such levels to dominate areas.

So... the choice is up to you. Do you WANT a level cap in GW2, or do you want there to be none.

edit: my perfect level would be 45 btw... level 45 is a nice cap/level imo. For one... its a pretty number. for 2... its double and a lil more of what we have now... you cant say that aint a bad thing. anything over 70 is dumb imo as i dont want this game to turn into wow were you have 1 charactor... and only 1 charactor because getting that level takes forever.

ohai, watsup vrywon. i cna haz love for u all.

yees their should be a lvl cap guildwars 2 has always been a skill based game not a level based game and thats why i prefer it over any other mmo

/raiseshand
I want a lvl cap. GW is about skill, not how little a life you have.

As long as there are quests/missions to do with a decent reward and not killing 1 billion monsters to gain 1 level I don't care about a level cap.

They haven't yet specified whether level will correlate at all with character strength. I can't imagine them turning it into a grindfest, but instead of creating yet another thread on this subject that will serve no purpose, why don't you just let it be until we get more information?

Nooooo there shouldn't be a level cap and you should also get some kind of a bonus after so many levels. Like an extra hp every 10 levels.

That would be a reason for me never to play GW2.

Skill > time invested imo. LvL cap, yes please.

I understand the reason 2, but dont you think the people that play 4-5 hours a day should be ahead then random guy that plays 1-2 hours a day?

Think if it like school, you take four years of college and get a good job. But someone that takes 8 years gets a better job. Why complain? He spent more time investing then you, why should he be on your playing field

I know the arguement "what about new players..", if they have no cap then make the gains past a certain level very minimal and not game breaking

As long as the lvl Cap is 100-300 I'm fine with a lvl cap.

If y'all mean 50-100.

No way >_<

High level cap is imminent. The more important question is what scaling will be used for attributes?

You sir/ma'am have won this thread. Please accept your prize of 1 (one) internet

Being serious, I couldn't agree more with Kakumei on this one. I have enough faith in Anet that if there was no level cap they wouldn't turn it into a WoW-style grind.

lvl cap 20 ftw

What would be the difference here..Just reduce the numbers. Why go to 300 when it can just be 50.

@you, i want it to be as it is now, not level 20... but a level thats doable. the person that has 4-5 hours a day SHOUDLNT get a level advantage... he can get his advantage by farming with the others who never see the light in the elite areas. than they can sell the items they get for millions and tada, having no life payed off.

@others... there is no other thread like this so far, i think. and i think this is just a poll, yes we dont know if there will be a level vap yet... thats why i made a poll to see if people would want one or not. if its the opposite of whatever side in this thread wins, well... that sucks. no harm done though. its fun to express opinions. dont say "We dont know if there will be one yet kthx lock thread post+1" that just shows your an ignorant a$$hole.

not another console-BS like with lvl 6000 guys having 250000hp and hitting for 9999 dmg

Most people like big numbers.

When you see someone as lvl 300 and you are lvl 2 you go like "wow!"

When you see someone as lvl 20 (or 50 in your case) and you are lvl 2 it's no big deal.

What? There have been dozens of threads on this exact topic, and it's been discussed to death. Some people want to turn it into a more grind-heavy standard MMO, a lot of people want to leave it relatively low, and some people just don't care either way. There's no point--literally--in speculating further, as all of the speculation has been exhausted. You won't be covering any new ground in this thread.

And it isn't like this 'poll' would accomplish anything--I'm pretty sure Anet has already decided what they're going to do, regardless of what customers say at -this- stage--they'll wait at least until the beta for more feedback.

I like the level 20 cap. Not that it's gonna matter much, didn't they already say that there would be no level cap? And if that's true, then you gotta know that some clown will finish the game in 6-8 hours. If only to be able to level his toon up in the harder areas, just so he can have bragging rights. "ooo lookit me I be oober leet 'cuz I'm higher lvl than joo!"

But like many have said before me, gw is about skill, not about what level you are. So if they really aren't having a level cap in gw2, then that'll tell you that the game will no longer be about skill. It'll be about the 32 year old virgin living in his mom's basement that took a week off of work just so he could be the first to have all the leet goodies first.......


O ya, and about the level cap, read the post below me. It mirrors my sentiments exactly.

Hmmm, how about you go play WoW if you want no level cap? Either that or go play Tibia... lol

Changing the whole game will result in little sales, as the features you want do not correlate at all to GW1, which is their main player audience. If they make no level cap, I guess I'll see you all on GW1

1000% agree
i may reconsider GW2 if there is no lvl cap
