| I am a demon hunter in fairly decent gear. I was derping around in torment 3 act 3 killing monsters, and a friend of mine who also has level 60 characters joined me on his lv 20 barbarian into torment 3, just as I killed a pack, and he levelled from 20-35 in one pack nearly... And he asked if I could power level him. I didn't really want to do it before asking if this was intended or not. Is this legal way of levelling? Seeing I guess they want people to play end level content I thought they might have enabled this sort of way of getting boosted.. | ||

I didn't really want to do it before asking if this was intended or not. Is this legal way of levelling? Powerleveling is a tad too fast right now, which is certainly not intended. We are working on a hotfix that will address this, but we do not intend to kill of powerleveling completely. We generally do not mind powerleveling, just not the way it is happening right now. | ||

So is it safe for us to farm paragon levels on the cursed chest event? Right now it's easy to pull 2-3b xp/h. At this moment in time I cannot say if there are any plans to take action against those who are powerleveling this way, so all I can say currently is that it would be worth to consider not doing it if you wish to be 100% safe. Players find clever ways of utilising game mechanics all the time, often in ways that were never even considered by the developers. That is normally not a problem in most cases, but there have been times in the past when a "clever use of game mechanics" gets classified as an exploit after it became widespread, which resulted in action taken against the accounts of players who made use of said exploit. I'm not saying this will happen in this case, but generally speaking, if you have any doubt if certain methods of playing might become classified as an exploit, then it is always the safest option to not do it. | ||

After the chest farming on Inferno after release you have not considered people farming THIS chest? Personally I really don't mind people farming that chest, leveling is half the fun but that line just makes you look silly :) I was speaking in general terms with that sentence, and as such I was not referring to this particular method of farming, which is clearly not intended. | ||

If you punish anyone now, I'd consider it unfair. I can certainly see why you would consider it unfair, but as I said, I do not yet know if anyone will be punished. This is also why I urge people to refrain from doing it now, as that is the only guaranteed way for individual players to avoid such an ugly situation. That said, I doubt we will be taking any serious actions here, it is just that I cannot guarantee that we will not. i.e. better be safe than sorry. | ||

Excuse me, are you saying its not safe to play diablo at this time? This. I apologise if it seemed like I was fearmongering, that is not my intention. | ||
