I am sick and tired of the word powerplayer. Damnit.
When I was doing quests earlier, I just waited where the NPC wanted it, I had nothing better to do and I doubt anyone else does either. Most people just stand around in trading tables anyway.
What do you consider yourself? You are level 20+. I'd say you were a powerplayer. The only person I believe that isn't a powerplayer in the sense of levels is zwr. He has played since the start like I have and he is still only level 5. Also I am level 46, yes I powerplay, but it's to have fun, I don't go around PKing with my stuff, it's mostly to protect myself or to PK if people PK me.

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable method....if you've done the quest plenty of times before and know where the hell they are, and where they will appear next. Most of us who haven't had the experience don't and so we have to wander around until we find them which is quite a good thing really. Their locations should be slightly random, really o_O

No, i wouldnt consider myself a powerplayer at all. True, i am stronger than quite a few players, but not by much, and i'm far weaker than the real power players. Basically, because i A)Don't spend all day on Bmode attacking/getting attacked in trade tables, B)Don't have like -34873487 AC and i'm not trying to do so, C) because i don't use words like "pwn" (XD nice silly reason there) and D)Because i'm not even trying to get my level higher now (well, instead i'm levelling wisdom which is kinda different, kinda the same

). I'm perfectly content where i am, which is why i am doing the quests. See, my character now is a priest, and getting the stat potions is part of becoming a powerful priest (getting 20 pow/wis,)(using them to prep a sword to get relics). Once/if i ever do get high grace, i will choose a god, maybe brigid or leuc or bile something due to spells, and stick with it! If there was a way to get the relics or spells or something without having levels involved, like some super-hard God quest, i would do that =x

Good question. Am I a powerplayer? Many things I do for the fun of it, and also to become stronger to a certain extend. I don't pk, not even in self-defense. I'm thinking about leveling my wisdom to Bile +4, but I doubt I'll get there in less than months, and most of the time I take care of the Horn's stable and storehouse, chatting and rping in and while doing so. So... actually, I don't care whether people call me a powerplayer or not. I'm a player, and that's enough, I'd say
