No way don't advance. Level freezing is the best "legal" exploit in the game that Oasis gives us. You will never get the same amount of refine runes and other freebies if you have to fight against people closer to your power. Level freezing is a smart way to not spend money on the game and have good success at the expense of the out of touch levelers. I wish I did this even more my character as you get big bonuses from level freezing by fighting against weaker individuals.

This is where I find level freezers have it all wrong. They think level freezing is about beating p2w. Level freezer who do not put money in will never be competive against those who pay and level freeze (ie like this original poster). Maybe you can become more competitive and lose in 2 rounds instead of 1 round against a player like him.

But Level freezing is about becoming much stronger then comparable F2P players and in particular the newer players who have played a shorter time. Level freezing allows us to feast and bully on these weaker, younger and naive F2P who have been playing that character a much shorter period of of time then us level freezers. No one is going to beat a spender by level freezing. All that we are doing is beating up weaker players who we have a time played advantage over. And to continue the cycle we need a newer and fresh crop of younger players that we can continue to bully and beat on as our power increases. And our only punishent for this is we occassionaly get beaten by a p2w level freezer like the OP but getting 15 or 20 advanced refine runes in sage is more then worth it. In fact, those runes are the best bargain in the game and even better then events like the lucky board that you need to actually spend coupons on. Level freezing is a no lose scenario and everyone should do it.
