So if he penalizes anyone after telling them it is 100% ok to do... well yea he will lose a ton of players.

An exploit is doing something wrong, he gave us permission to pwrlvl saying he feels it is 100% ok.

He was warned this would happen by hundreds of people, he ignored it, it is now Yoshida's fault not the playerbase. Would be like taking everyones gil away because leves use to give too much... so we exploited leves to get alot of gil.

See guys? Daddy said it was okay to do that. Now behave and stop fighting with each other, you all have the same opportunity.

They should make it so that mobs at a player's current rank will yield the most XP so that the higher level can still help them out. This way, XP isn't so ridiculous, it would in fact be normal XP gain but just at a faster rate since they have a PL.

Or have an XI system that worked for years and was perfect, thinking back in old days valkurm dune where a PL just healed XD wand mages would hammer away.


Ahh the beauty of the community having to create the system.

I don't see why people need PLing at all. Learn how to play the game and if you don't like long term MMO gaming why are you playing in the first place?! 2-3 months to hit max level is not a long time for an MMO, not to mention all the time your going to need learning how abilities work, stats, and your role in a party... The idea is to play the game for 2-5 years, if you want to hit max level in a week and make the ultimate character in 3 months whats the point of even playing an MMO?

I think a lot of the counter points fueling this debate are done by teenagers who picked up the game for 10 bucks and are playing cause its FTP. I doubt they'll be paying once p2p starts...
