so the other day i was doing some quests in aquila when a lvl 10 joined in.... this made the battle a lot more difficult because she also brought enemies with her since she was not strong enough to fight them. it was as if i was fighting twice more enemies on my own! it was a huge waste of time and a really irritating situation...

may i suggest to do so that the low lvl can not join a battle with extremely higher lvl enemies? i do not might when a low lvl helps me fight in a ship battle but when it comes to fight on ground it bring me to a huge disadventage

The same thing happened to me when I did the tea house instance in mooshu. A level 15 (who was not on my friend list) was milling about outside the instance, entered with me (I didn't realize what lvl he was at that time), fought the first fight, died in 1-2 hits and I was left to fight, as you mentioned, twice as many enemies. The worst part was after the battle was over, he runs ahead, yelling "come on! Let's go!" When I refused, he had a level 20 friend port to him and they, presumable, went off to lose a battle further up. I took a brief break, then came back and finished the instance alone. Weird.

I agree, this prevents power leveling and I hope you can do something to discourage the greedy ones from doing this. Is it a really complicated thing to have the system not let you play if you are too many levels lower than the target? I know this is doable with ship side fights. I agree that is VERY annoying. I generally get rid of them by refusing to heal them but that becomes a problem real fast because that would prevent me from using my team heals. Most are there to get the high level stuff so they can sell it. Fighting twice the bad guys because someone is too weak can make you lose the fight really fast in places like Marleybone and Aquila. I know you can't fix bad manners but this really impedes our progress in the game. Thanks for your consideration in this issue.

the worst part is when you tell them to leave and not join your battles and then one of their friend who is higher lvl takes their defence. like if your helping a lower lvl get some gold on your own will, dont force other people to fight with you if they dont want to!

I know how annoying it must be i was almost done with beachead with the last battle with bishop and i forgot to turn off friend telports and a lvl 16 person joins luckily not with his crew and he died in the first fround and i had to fight an extra battle angel which are the ones i hate the most since the dodge and do a big deal of damage since they are swashbucklers

I was helping my sister with the Bison Lodge instance, when all of a sudden her level 10 friend ports in, brings in another Bison Brave, and gets my sister killed. When we got back outside after our defeat, I said to her "Never turn on friend ports-EVER- when in an important instance." Then we went in, and completed it.
