I do want this game to work, i love final fantasy!!!!
But here is the thing, over time 5 years from now, no one will play a role playing game where levels do not matter.
If level two requires the exact same amount of effort (press x) as level 50, and the ONLY difference is the time it took to get there, then you are better off watching a monkey making it with a football.
Could you stop talking to yourself (use the edit button if you need to) for a moment? If you see those Onion Doublet clone Lalafell, try reporting them. Chances are most of them are RMT with gibberish name. Power-leveling however, is semi-endorsed by SE and next patch will have even more endorsement, sorry if you're "die-hard" or not.
Talking to myself or presenting scenario's that destroy any thought that this idea of leveling is what should be in a mmorpg? Instead of attacking me personally develop a strategy that says this is a sustainable and wanted element of a role playing game. Your view amounts to this. My friend beat ffvii. I borrowed their memory card, skipped to the last bosses and whopped them real good. Therefore I beat the game of ffvii.
As for reporting RMT's. Yes been doing that since 2003. Think I thought of that.
Power leveling vs. Leveling Power. I will be nice and let you figure that out on your own. Please feel free to refer to the scenario's laid out in previous posts, if you need further insight as to why this attitude that everyone deserves an easy level 50 is childish. No I say, everyone deserves an equal chance to achieve to their true potential. That is why we start at level 1. Allowing a level 50 to party with a level 1, leveling them to 50 means those same levels are meaningless.
