The Truth About Video Game Power Leveling

I did some research about how video game power levelers work. You'll be shocked.

Power leveling is very popular on online games today. There are so many new MMORPG'S nowadays that the power leveling companies will most likely increase. In fact, if you search power leveling on Google 10,600,000 search results are returned. It is a very bad habit for people and can take a lot of money out of your pocket.

If you don't know what power leveling is, I'll explain the process. You pay some website money and give them your game account and password. In return they level your account. Some services can cost thousands of dollars, and some can steal your password.

Why is power leveling bad? It is a very bad way to play a game. The whole point of spending time to get those levels is the experience within the time. Sure you all want to have a great account for whatever game you're playing. When you pay money to get there you ruin the experience and lose a lot of money.

If you don't like training in the first place, then you should stop playing the game. There's no point in playing if you don't want to train. There is always the risk of that company cheating to get your levels or stealing your account. A very high risk of your account being banned comes with this service.

Worst of all, if your account gets banned you're done. You can't play anymore. The power leveling company takes your money and moves on. And good luck getting your account back, they are all the way across the world and don't really care. Over 90% of power leveling companies do not have forums, because of the high amount of people complaining about their banned accounts.

Do you ever wonder how they really train your accounts? And, who does train them? I did some research for you and found out. It is actually sad to me, but you can voice your opinion below with a comment.

Over 95% of the companies are located in Asia and hire gamers to do cheap labor for them. They have little sheds were everyone trains and sleeps. The living conditions are not suitable for a human being. Some companies enslave people to do the work.

This is the result of paying two hundred dollars to get your characters levels higher. Cheap Asian labor.

Did you ever wonder why they are so fast with their work? Companies have workers work for 14 hour shifts. Stopping only to eat or use the bathroom. The thought of these poor people that are forced to train a character non-stop saddens me. This is why I have never even considered buying power leveling. You shouldn't either for this and many other reasons.

The way I look at all of this is the equivalent of paying someone to watch television for you. The chances of you playing that game for over a year are low. The chances of you playing that game for five years or more are slim to none. So tell me, why is it worth it?

Yeah. I've heard they can go to jail sometimes if a company finds out. They take shifts on some places, one goes to sleep the other works until its time for another person. The shacks where they live in sometimes doesnt even have a bathroom. Cheap labor means the owners take almost the whole amount.
Btw- These guys also work in basements.

I thank you for making this known for the general public.
But one thing that you didn't add is that in the U.S. you can actually get fined or go to jail for up to one year for using these companies.
There are macros and other types of programs that you can use to get your account on mmorpgs lvled up. However you will almost always be banned/have account removed. Depending on the game.

This company claims to provide a service and NEVER does. They ask for your funds up front, in good faith I provided 100.00 for a service.
I have been asking through emails and live chat to resolve this professionally with not help.
Here is an example of our coverstation:
=====================================
They ask what is you email address and order number.
I provide it.
They say one sec.. they come back with how can I help you.
I explain I never rec the goods nor servcie they promiced. I ask for my 100 dollar refund.
They reply a manager has to do this here is his email address.
I explain I emailed him and nothing.
They say he is in China at games he will be back in 8 days.
I say I need to talk to someone now as it has been 3 weeks and nothing.
They say come back tomorrow at 9am someone should be here.
============================================
3 weeks the same old stuff over and over.
I escalated this to PayPal and they are suppoed to be helping.
