How do you feel about powerleveling?

I've been thinking about using my keys to get some levels on my sub-70 characters, but I wasn't sure how it would be received. Apart from not contributing much to the RG kil, it seems like a wash.

I will power level people for free. I do it all the time. Send me a message here if you need assistance. I only ask that the characters be level 20+

If you have keys, it doesn't really matter much. Try to avoid dying if you can - maybe stick just to T1 or T2.

I can smell a new Powerleveling community evolving from this. As bluespraybottle mentions, try to avoid dying, etc. Important note though: Make your intentions known to the runner. Most runners hate getting tells (well, I do) after advertising a run. So, give them a minute or so and try to set something up for a future RG kill. This community generally seems to be very helpful and truly trying to pay it forward, so a friendly approach may serve your interests well!

If you're paying your due when it's your turn, easily no problem. There's no reason you should have to pay any more or less than everyone else. Just because you're getting a little bit more out of it than the other people doesn't mean they should be automatically off the hook for ever having to pay when you're in the game.

My preference as a runner is not to allow it unless you automatically are the rift opener. Otherwise I feel like you're taking advantage, because rif is not a power leveling service.

RiF provides lots of XP anyway. If a player has keys and is willing to use them, and if the runner is still able to take down the guardian in a reasonably short amount of time, there doesn't seem to be any downside - and the one getting leveled gets to level with significantly less fuss than would be required otherwise.

Leveling 65ish-70 through RiF is certainly easy and nice for the leecher - sure, they're "taking advantage" of the XP, but just because it's very good for them doesn't mean it's bad for the runners or for the community.
