Social penalties break MMO style

Normally powerleveling is penalized and I understand that a level 20 can't push a level 10. But that with 3 levels difference there are penalties seems to me quite wrong. Being 14 and not being able to play with my level 17 friends because I penalize their loot is sad.

Also, raid penalties don't make sense. I understand that the experience of the activity is divided between the members, the more you are the less experience you get, why penalize it? That just makes people not want to play together, shouldn't an MMO socialize this?

    power leveling is to be avoided, socializing/having fun with friends should not be. I am sorry, I can't offer a real solution to your conundrum but it is a far more complex issue than just fun with friends regardless of level. imo.

    I mean if it was more like 7 levels instead of 3, that would make more sense, at maybe a 20% penalty that is split across those 7 levels.
