I have to agree with the majority here. It IS true that levelers have priority. The zones are set so that you pretty much have to go from one to another to level. After you are too high for one, You have to go to the next one to get decent exp. Yes, they could have gone to minos, but even there, it gets ridiculously (yes, I know my spelling sucks) slow and they should not have to do that unless uber is already filled with other "actual" levelers.
A character who is as high a level as you were can easily make thier $ by working centuria, mining, or even picking up the hundreds of packs that can accumulate under the den.
Hell, you could even do as I did rather than impede people's leveling and spend some time helping others on the server. This could include giving directions on how to play to the noobs or acting as a taxi to those who need transported (this was one thing I did not do), or even follow the lower level characters around and shield them.
Hell, if you were THAT desperate for claymores, you could do as I sometimes did and as some others did for me, help those in uber kill the ubers and level in a good way and then take the packs. Of course, not everyone goes for this so you would need to make arrangments with them. Most intelligent players will go for this as they will level multiple times faster so they can remort sooner and then, they will be out of your way to "farm" by yourself.
If a PK gives an actual warning to you for good reason, as in this case, you SHOULD listen whether it was once or ten times. Personally, I do not see any of the current peacekeepers abusing thier power in any way and believe that part is right in trusting them.
Part is doing us ALL a favor just by hosting. That is something that many forget it seems.
