Say you rolled a very powerful combo and level sat at a potent rank. Lets say a level 31 Duergar Sword spec with flurry perfected (prac on evils, mob die to reset exp). You'd quickly build a nasty set and dominate your range.
How much could you affect the balance if you were online for significant portion of the day actively hunting with the goal of preventing goodies from ranking, multi killing if required.
Obviously you can't stop people who play outside your times, but during your play times I think after a couple of weeks of smashing the range there would be a power shift during your hours.
