Level restrictions vs auto-exemplar
The only level restrictions in a PvP zones are the minimum. It is auto-Exemplaring/auto-sidekick/etc that raises or lowers all players in the zone to a specific level. A specific level that is not the same as the zone's level restriction on any of the zones. B-Bay, level-restriction == 15, but auto-SK/EX == 25. These are very different things. - Sister Leortha 11:46, 19 October 2006 (PDT)
- Since Sidekick is linked in the previous sentence, and now fully explains the Sidekick feature including PvP/SF auto-SK/EX, I maintain that having the big block of confusing acronyms is unnecessary. Martavius 11:49, 19 October 2006 (PDT)
- Actually, as I think about it a bit more, I have never before heard the term "Level Restrictions" applied to the PvP zones. The term I always heard was "Minimum Level" or something similar. "Level Restrictions" has generally been a term used for TFs and SFs, which have both a minimum and a maximum. PvP zones really don't have level restrictions in the same sense. They have no maximum level, just a minimum, and a effective level to which all characters in the zone are raised or lowered.
- When you get right down to it, my problem it really with the term Level Restriction, since IMHO it does not at all reflect the mechanism (auto-exemplaring) that is allowing people to ToT in the zone. My problem is *not* with removing the acronym block, in and of itself. But if it is removed, it IMHO needs to be replaced with something that actually reflects the mechanism at work. - Sister Leortha 11:53, 19 October 2006 (PDT)
- A level restriction is a level restriction: PvP zones are RESTRICTED to those whose LEVELS are above <minimum level required>. So there is a level restriction to PvP zones. Additionally, just because it's not often used doesn't make it false. :)
- However, replacing the block of acronyms (which is all I was trying to do, because it looks bad) with "minimum level" instead of "level restriction" works just the same. Martavius 11:57, 19 October 2006 (PDT)
