So true Nelly. I know I'll be taking my time as well this round. I've begun to lvl with guild mates; rotating between healing and fighting- which makes it so much more fun! Not only am I getting to know me krewe mates better, Im also ENJOYING the game again.
When I was new to Pirates (and gaming in general for that matter) I was introduced to glitching. It seemed like an easy way to get 40. I was around 30's at the time. I hate to admit it, but I glitched a couple of times with my first pirate. When I finally did hit 40 I didn't feel proud or accomplished.. but rather ashamed. Now, I did lvl most of my first pirate the right way, but those few times I did glitch took the accomplishment out of reaching 40. So on my second pirate I made a promise to myself to do it the RIGHT way. When I hit 40 the second time, I have to say..it felt good to know I EARNED that Mastered title. I wish I hadn't cheated at all to begin with but I'm just glad I was able to realize my mistake and correct it. That's what counts in the end; admitting your wrongs and working to make them right.
As for those who are now hitting lvl 50 with the help of glitches, there is no real accomplishment. Yes you have a fancy title over your head but if you glitched to get there it really is meaningless. One must work for their goals, nothing in life is easy. If that's the way you do things fine by me. Just remember that when you cheat in life, you will never fully understand what it means to accomplish something, and therefore will never grasp what life is about.

For those of you who have or will reach that goal of lvl 50 the honest way, I congratulate and applaud you.
You should be proud of yourselves.
