one of the things i dont see anyone mentioning is do we really want an item that levels you up Instantaneously?
yeah sure for leveling purposes it is a godsend but what about group content?
have you guys seen other mmos?
you join a queue for a dungeon or flashpoint and you get these players with maxed level characters who havent leveled their character meaning they got no idea on how to play them,no idea what their skills do or how to use them...problem is that if its a new class for them they need the experience you get with leveling.
well thats why the stone book isn't to bring your charactor to max lvl out of the gate like star wars online. thats foolish. it only grants you a fast forward to adult quest nothing more. if u lack experience true u will get owned thats the risk as for teaming up in dbo know who ur partying with
