Video is broken but yeah you're right. Since it primarily uses it's level system for sorting, you can abuse this by staying low level, not doing plot missions. This will make you dominate the battlefield. I myself prefer to play the game at my own pace so i'm okay with losing out on battlefield because my satisfaction comes from powering up my character, not bullying weak people.

Bullying people who are legitimately in that bracket might be looked down upon but sadly this is pretty much the only way to farm Advance Refines.

Why hit level 90 when you have the chance to be higher powered than most level 90s as a lvl 87? Must be fun winning almost everyone at sage.

meh i've given up on sage world battlefield already. No matter how much power u can "stack" by not leveling up, you would still be unable to beat those BIG spenders. I am lv 90 now with about 53k power but i guess the average power in SWB is like 55k. Some people are even like 130k power (there really isn't any possible way a F2P who "stack and avoid leveling up" to be able to fight someone like that no matter what.

Yea stacking up power and staying on a low level will help you alot in swb:);P

Hi, think about what would happen if you did not level up.

Maybe you lose like 3-4k power from awakening and other stats, but you will be lvl 85.

Lvl 85 with 49k power is not that awesome but still you will find alot more joy in SWB. fighting against lvl 82-83s.

As 111 google guy said, it's the only way to farm advance refine runes and that is where the true power is.

wew, thanks for alot responses, I appreciate everyones point of view!

From my point of view, the game has changed a lot from the point of 1.0.
Staying low level makes u farm scrolls, and refines easier, grants u an awesome title, and its completly legitimate if you are f2p. Nobody can force you to do plot and level up, I myself did it here i am on S60 UK lvl 82 35k power, imagine my fun in the game. This video has targeted audience of people that go from server to server.
Here in the new video I've faced guy that is p2w with chiyo 10 puppets, and Pain tendo, still won even if he killed 2 of my ninjas with an ease. It all depends.
