Power leveling

A term used to describe a type of leveling where one or more player plays a game for hours or sometimes hundreds of hours only focusing on achieving a higher level. Today, with the popularity of online games such as World of Warcraft and the amount of hours it takes to achieve a higher level, players are paying real-life money to other people or companies to power level their characters for them so they don't have to spend so much time in the game.

Some players and game companies look down on power leveling as it helps reward players who are not really playing the game and therefore don't really have the in-game-experience and/or only rewards players who have or want to spend the money this way. Others look at it as a way to save the player time or may not have the time to invest into a game and as a way of helping those in poorer countries (often out-sourced to countries with no jobs or only low-income jobs).
