Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

This might be a ligitimate point if your couch wasn't IN MY AND EVERYONE ELSES LIVINGROOM.

Queue more sh*tty analogies by you.

I see your test was success! So successful and disgusting, in fact, that you did it thirteen more times. I bet you feel so dirty inside, don't you?

And you probably want it fixed 'cause you got some R50s already. You must feel like you're on top of the world, and you can't have these other newbies exploit your little powerleveling gem. 'Cause then you wouldn't feel like you're on top of the world anymore. Can't have that. No, sir.

...I love you elitists.

for the 1000x we are telling you that it will NOT happen and if it does SE will gimp it. So get over it.

Just because you THINK it will happen then that makes you right? You could be 100% wrong dude.

Look at my sig. this is all the things people like you bitch about and it came and passed with no bad effect. Every patch trolls bitch about everything then 2 weeks later everyone gets use to it and its fine.

Same thing will happen now (in fact i will add this to my list)

Funny, I always thought the point of an MMORPG was the grind, the gradual climb to becoming stronger, until you just might become the best, or at the very least not suck at what you do. The difficulty is the real reward, I remember playing through Chains of Promathia before all the child's play uncapped, hand holding bullshit, and even though I raged hard at every Ultima/Omega wipe, and having to get level specific gear, you bet your ass I was overjoyed when it was over, and I overcame that hurdle with my static party. I don't feel that way with XIV, I was ambivalent at best with my first 50.

As things stand now, you don't even really need a modicum of skill or perseverance to reach the top. The game has been trivialized to:

1. push butan
2. receeve expz

That kind of instant gratification does not make a good RPG. As said copious amounts of times, most of us aren't against PLing, but can we at least have a system where the player and all his wonderful 47 chromosomes getting power leveled has to actually put in even a tiny fragment of effort? Even in normal parties now, Square is just making it rain with exp, it's like making a 3 yard touchdown, and having a huge endzone celebration, ridiculous.

Again, the answer to your question is in this thread a dozen times.

Now, go do some reading. *inserts comment-I-think-is-witty-but-is-really-just-stupid here*

Me and my friends started this game when it was released. A year later, I am the only one remaining.

But now my friends want to come back since so much of the game is different (and arguably better). I'm level 50. They're level 20.

Guess we're all SOL, since someone none of us even know or play with might get a little butthurt because my friends can level up faster now, huh?

Yeah, cause I'm the only one bringing this up. Mhmm.

How about we just have it so if someone wants to come back to the game, they get to choose the level they come back at? Wanna start at 50? Hey, here ya go! 50 free levels, yaaaay! Now you can play with your friends, since there was no way to make it so you could do that without cutting out a core mechanic of every rpg ever! This all makes perfect sense and doesn't conflict with logic at all!
