I read through your thread. And before you go on about mods, please read the rules and stickies as you will see that repeat threads will be closed as we don't need them.

Then can you open this poll again? If not, re-open the other post?

Yeah, but why would I wanna level in the first place? I can pretty much kill the same things at level 15 as level 20. I really dont want to be bothered by leveling up anymore, we really need level 20 premade pve characters to speed up the game.

And factions levels you no faster than prophecies....that is if you were playing prophecies correctly.

The poll was set to close after 20 days of the intial posting well over a year ago. Not having been closed by act of moderation, I see no harm in reopening it since it apparently still pertains to the community.

Honestly, I hadn't even noticed it was closed, since already voting on these things and closure both end up causing you to only see the results.

The title was rewritten to say 'sometime in the future' rather than 'after a year or so', and the choices were simply capitalized, but the results remain untampered with. No clue how to change it into a single option poll, or any idea why the OP (the second poster in this merged thread) made it a multiple choice, but it shouldn't be a huge deal I hope x_x

It'll have to do for now.

Edit: Closure is the quick simple solution, but merger works as well. This thread has assimilated at least four threads now other threads, and would eat another, but I'm experiencing technical difficulties.

I hope this is a satisfactory solution to all?

That does help, thank you for opening the poll again. Is there any way to reset the poll, out of curiousity?

Why it has the same percentages as your poll.

May I just point out to you, as many others have, I believe, that Level 20 does not, I repeat, does not mean that the game is over. For instance:

- Have you done all the Bonuses?
- Have you captured all the Elite skills?
- Have you captured the Halls?
- Have you got your Phoneix?
- Have you made a Guild that has got to #1 on the Ladder?
- Do you have all the Greens?
- Do you have as much money as you can possibly have?
What I have done is:
  1. Yes, every bonus on my primary; don't care to repeat on other characers. (Protector of Tyria)
  2. All useful elites, yes. Especially for my primary character. The others do not have near as much interest, but the worthwhile elites have been capped.
  3. No, that's PvP stuff and the level discussion is about PvE, really. (Plus I'm not too wild about PvP so it doesn't quite apply.)
  4. See above.
  5. See the above's above.
  6. No, I actually prefer to make my own custom weapons now because there are no suitable greens in the weapons of my preference.
  7. No, I'm not a bot. :P Though solo power leveling would allow you to gain a nice net income.

A lvl 20 cap is good. I don't know about you, but I don't want some warrior with 800 health hitting constant 150+ and some monk healing him 300+ health every couple seconds...

Edit: AND, that would put a hell lot of load on Anet. Imagine; if Anet abolished the lvl cap, she would then have to change the levels of the monsters and the difficulty of the missions--Anet DOESN'T want lvl 50 ppl whipping through quests and killing everything(AND running ppl everywhere and therefore getting rich), but at the same time, if she increased the difficulty of the missions, the lvl 10 ppl wouldn't be able to complete them.

if anet got rid of the level cap, it would come tumbling down...

The level cap will not change. Reason ? - PvE is tied to PvP. Level playing field for PvP so PvE has to follow suit. As usual.

I really enjoy everyone being capped at the same level, so I hope it stays 20.
