I have heard these type of "issues" in many other online games. Wizard 101, for example. To Quest in that game, you usually are tasked to defeat X number of baddies. But then some other beastlord level 50 comes in a cremates the baddies before you even pick your spell/weapon. Rep/XP stealing. That is annoying. But in PotCO, I believe since it is possible to double team on a stronger baddy, we pirates should take advantage of that. Two level 15's can probably take down a level 19 and such. They both get the Rep Points. We must take
baby steps. The newcomers/noobs will level quite quickly if the higher levels allow them to double team on more difficult bad guys. Then, when they are high enough level to fend for themselves, we let them go. Only THEN, may we higher levels
politely ask the noobs to please leave us alone. If they deny, well, simply train somewhere else. It is as simple as that.
