Trust me, it's been that way since last spring. I remember people bitching about the mob rank/aggro indicators and saying it made the game "Easy mode"
I really detest the vocal minority on this forum sometimes. The majority of players seem to love the current system, and its a damn sight better than being in a party with someone who just cannot get that YOU DONT ATTACK THE YELLOW MOBS FIRST!
Went out to do some normal leves with randoms last night, would have been epic fun had it not have been for one guy heal bombing and aoe pulling, wiping us on nearly every leve. Drove me crackers. Power levelling us my escape from this, so I can catch up with my ls, to allow me to play with people who aren't backwards.
I personally think it's amazing how many people came out of the woodwork in defense of PLing at it's broken EXP rates. Really shows the quality of the player base, and how little people really think of the game.
What's amazing is that the PLing threads keep getting bumped over new threads where people are asking questions or needing information.
I believe we should keep on posting the same stuff over and over again in say about five more threads about pling.
Good job people.
Bump
This is a pretty major issue, more serious then the ones presented in 1.18 anyway, I'm curious to hear any counter arguments as to why you think it isn't. I'm trying to form a constructive discussion about this topic but all I keep reading are FFXIV styled facebook comments, and petty retorts. That wasn't a personal attack on any one person but the uncreative responses i've been receiving as a whole.
I'm just waiting for the devs to say shut the Arthur peck up.
