' Wrote:The phrase itself is insulting, ambigious and doesn't actually mean anything. It's a catch phrase that has no meaning. An ID, such as this, probably differently named, gives meaning to the silence. It removes ambiguity. It tells you not to expect too much from this encounter.
In MMORPGs, powerleveling is leveling with the intent to gain as many levels as possible as quickly as possible. Similarly, Powertrading is trading with the intent to gain many credits as fast as possible. Not all power traders want to avoid/won't RP either, that's not the deffinition of a power trader. I powertrade when I want to make credits, but if someone RPs with me, I'll RP back. The difference between a powertrader and an in-RP trader, is that the in-RP trader is only doing it for the RP, and the credits are just a bonus on the side.
So, I don't consider myself a powertrader, because I do RP trade, but when I need credits, then I'll start powertrading. Doesn't mean I'll stop RPing though, so using a "power trader" ID to describe everyone would be too broad of a description, because I don't think there's anyone here that hasn't, or doesn't power trade occasionally. We've got this mindset that "Powertrading = bad" but in reality... it's not.
