So I am in an all girls guild and as a joke the officers are "princesses" my job is to help others level. So the title would go "Princess of....." and it has to be that....please any ideas?

    “Princess of Powerleveling” would be easy, a bit obvious though.

    “Princess of the Helping Hand”, “Princess of Aid”, “Princess of Assistance” would all be fine, if a bit wonky.

    Your best bet, in my opinion, is to do “Guardian Princess” or “Princess of Protection” since that’s really what you’d be doing for the low-level characters (guarding/protecting them from the dangers of the monsters they level off of)… and those titles both sound cooler than anything else I mentioned anyway. ^^

    Have fun!

    *EDIT* Not to start a flame war, Josiah, but your post isn’t very constructive, and does not answer the OP’s question. I did not rate you down, for you had some positive points about the game mechanics and what certain segments of the online society expect, but I have some disagreements.

    Simply put, not everyone plays the game as you do. For many, powerleveling is a fun way to go through the game and have a more experienced player teach them lessons that they might never learn on their own.

    And while your assessment of the game’s mechanics is valid concerning kill XP, quest XP rewards are still the best way to level fast (especially in instances!), and this type of XP is never affected by powerlevelling. She might have to drag her newbie friends through more zones and dungeons overall, but it will still get them to 80.

    And if you’re afraid of what that will do to your raids, then that’s too bad. They may be powerlevellers, but not necessarily power-gamers; not every guild is in this game for the same reasons.

    Let them level alone. Otherwise they won’t experience the true feeling of accomplishment when they reach 80.
    Plus powerleveling doesn’t really work in WoW. If you are a high level character and have a low level character in your party, the lower level character takes huge experience penalties. They only receive about 10-20% from each kill. If the higher level character is not in the party you don’t get those penalties, but if they assist in killing you do get the penalties. The only true way to power level is to have a high level healer outside of the group, healing the characters as they kill everything they can. The high levels cannot do anything to assist the kill or the experience numbers drop very low. It was a genius solution to the powerleveling problem in other MMOs.
    I think everyone should have to do the work I did to reach 80. I had no assistance, aside from groups doing group quests and a few instances.

    When you get high level characters powerleveling or “running” lower levels through instances it cheapens the game. They didn’t have to put out any effort but they still received the reward.

    That’s a terrible mindset to have when they reach 80 and start raiding. They wouldn’t last long in any raid that way.

    They’re the people that complain in a 25 man raid that they didn’t get any drops, although there are probably 10 other people that didn’t get drops either.

    Don’t coddle players, let them level on their own. The struggles make them better players.
