Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

I'll vote no for rapid leveling if:

1.) They actually add content to give the game a feeling of accomplishment when you hit a specific level. There's some now but nothing near XI's feeling of accomplishment when getting high enough to quest for chocobo, work on nation missions, etc.

2.) Make partying feel like less of a grind and more like fun. Hopefully with the addition of new classes and battle regimen being re-added, it will feel more involving.

All we need to do is Abolish the AFK leveling. This will dramatically slow the pace of Leveling. The content in this game is designed to level you as you complete other objective. We need to get players to actually participate in their XP so they will decide playing is more fun than watching or just not playing.

Fixed that for you.

I really dont see whats so bad about PLing. There is hardly any "fun" content between 20-40. 1-20 goes by so fast solo its not even worth mentioning lol. Its that middle range that needs a lot of work, and SE i'm sure is working on it. Until then, its just a massive grindfest with no real reward. If anything PLing is rather healthy for the community, as it gets everyone the same level so they can all play together. Its not like you skip anything worthwhile between 20 and 40 that can't do later. Seriously.

Besides, there are many jobs in the game you can't PL (DoL and DoH say hi). Ppl will have to work the hard way 1-50 eventually. So what they PLed their DoW jobs. Now they can play with the rest of their LS, learn their class, and enjoy the benefits of being lvl 50 (farming, materia, dungeon runs, primals). How is this a bad thing again?

Well its because I'm betting most of the anti-plvling crowd that states they dont want to do it really mean they cant find anyone to PL them, and then they dont want anyone to be able to PL so that they are forced to seek out party members. I have yet to find anyone in game that would turn down plvling.

SO fun seeing this reach 156 pages O.o. Whatever you think, in the end PL exists atm because there is nothing to do in the middle levels. Like NOTHING. Toto'Rak and thats it for the low levels, and even that gets boring after the 3rd run. Once 2.0 comes and we have proper content and quest hubs and everything, PLing wont be "needed", maybe even not desired althout I highly doubt that.

What they should do to fix this problem is add a fatigue like system where once you earn a certain amount of experience you gain less and less experience per level of fatigue up to a 100% reduced rate, and this system could reset every 24 hours or even longer to prevent people from out leveling each other so no one gets ahead and everyone can party together, laugh together and just enjoy the game to it's fullest.

I've turned down PL several times (but i've also taken PL several times). So now you know one person. Im sure there are others as well.

I'm sure the majority of people who are anti-PL have used it, not because they are hypocrites, but because the alternative is to solo. If you solo you get left behind.

Like I said earlier, PL should have been nipped in the bud shortly after this issue came up. Now its too late as the majority of the active player base have their desired classes to 50 already, and to get rid of PL now will leave too few players stranded at a variety of levels making forming PTs nearly too difficult to be worthwhile.

The best the people who are anti-PL can hope for is to campaign hard while ver 2.0 is in development so that when it's released there is actually a real game to play from beginning to end game.

The points against PL have been mentioned over and over in this thread only to get refuted by "you're just jealous" (no) "it doesn't affect you" (yes it does) "don't do it if you don't like it" (as if we have a choice)

That would be true. If someone can't find a party for days and someone offers to PL, it would be pretty dumb to say "no" (no offense). It doesn't make PLing any better though.
