Thank you to ooga, first of all. Now breifly, I understand, and honestly
(now) mostly agree with your reasoning. The only issue I still see is that,
and perhaps this just a matter of personal opinion and therefore moot, I can't
really see that being the case. Seasoned players, the ones who seem to be
fighting it the most, should'nt be really that badly affected by 1 hour of
playing. Could it be possible that someone who has been in the game for 8+
years or so could have an entire friends list of people so interested in an
hour of extra exp that they would turn away something else with them? And if
that is the case, perhaps the real issue here is not that powerhour has
'robbed' them of the oppurtunity to do some eq or some quest, but that their
'friends' really care only about min/maxing. I don't know. You made some
good points, and I thank you. I prolly wont post on this anymore. I just
think that it seems silly that no matter what tune, people complain. Perhaps
I am completely insane, but I do not think there is a bad tune. Even
downtunes add flavor. The truth of the matter is no matter what system is in
place, you will have someone to abuse it, and if you cannot handle that fact,
then there is really no place for you, in bat or in real life. Just be happy
there is a game to play, and at least some people to play it with. I for one
wont put off something interesting for silly power hour. Invite me on some of
these 'quests' you do for fun that you cannot find anyone else.

Sorry after the fact for the lack of paragraph formatting. I was in a rush to
type this before I had to leave.

Oops, an addendum to that last post. I was stupid and looked at the wrong
name. Where I also thank Ooga for adding his comments, that originally should
have been to geryon (or something sorry I cannot remember spelling. I will
commit ritual seppukku after this post)
