Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

I'm thinking they'll somehow incorporate the highest level player's level into your exp calculations, similar to how FFXI did it. That or they just cap monster exp in some other way that most likely ends up hurting legit parties as well.

How did you get on page two? Won't do.

If you have someone on your party 15+ level above you there should be some reasonable EXP cap. Say 400-500 EXP.

In Regular Parties this cap would not apply.

Then you could PL at a decent rate and also regular parties would return.

Well, at least now we know (from the Japanese Rep response) it *will* be dealt with, and that it was a kind of "bug". Actually I don't believe this; but as long as the problem is solved, I'll be happy ^.^/

What was the response?

Short version:
"We are aware that one of the limiting mechanisms does not work as intended. This will be corrected shortly. We are very sorry that our response took that long. Please calm down. Of course, excessive experience gained by abusing this bug will be reset appropriately."

Now actually the last sentence of my abridged translation is completely fictional. But imagining the desperate outrcries of those who abused the bug, I couldn't resist, hahaha! Forgive!:cool:

P.S.: And now back to actually playing a game without auto-following a LS mate around!
P.S.II: Now come on, we all saw this coming. For those who were already around last September: the similarity to the Conjurer healspam-abuse is evident.

Peace.
And make use of the bug as much as you still can, if your conscience allows it.

It was fun while it lasted lol

Well, I for one am SHOCKED that the people who thought this was how it was supposed to be were wrong. Shocked, I tell you! Who'd have thunk it?

Now let the "OMG SE WHY DID YOU NERF EXP" threads begin! ^.^
