To level fishing, you have to fight each fish down till you real them in. Chocobo Digging, Synergy, leveling NPCs, skilling up magic and combat skills all work the same way; perform that task and you will become stronger at that task. Why should leveling up jobs be any different than any other activity in the game?
Did you honestly just try to prove your point by saying, "other games/aspects do it, so this has to do it too"? No, they don't have to follow a formal just because the formula is often used.

So yes, I think that there should be restrictions about cheating in a game.
Cheating would be doing something against TOS. This is the same argument people used against Smn burns. They claimed because they got xp so fast unlike regular parties it must be cheating, yet SE has never taken action against those players even after all this time.

It seems SE is actually encouraging this type of activity, so claiming it's "cheating" makes you look like a sore loser as it has not been against SE's policy at all.


And once again, none of what you said means you can't xp the old way. So again, you're just whining over numbers in a video game.
