[dev1026] Please reconsider level sync "Then allowing power leveling"

[Zenaku]

Pwr lvling only really works until rank 24 honestly, after that it all falls apart. And although that is about 50% in numbers to 50 it is only like 8-12% of the total SP.

The whole pwrlvling only works because of the massive SP bonus pre 25, after that your SP will actually be higher sp/hr in a normal party then a pwrlvl.

Sp has a cap )10 levels) so a rank 25 getting sp from a rank 50 is going to be like 200-350sp/kill depending on the mob. And higher level mobs that give decent sp will not work in pwrlvl setting because there are simply not enough things to kill. Example Take a rank 30 person to Down's raptors and get ~25k/hr, take a rank 30 to a proper camp get ~25k/hr. This method is just not effective you are sacrificing a ton of time at no gain.

People did it in XI and nothing bad happened... and they did it in well every other mmo to a point as well. It is because 1 reason. At a point in all mmo pwrlvling is just 100% ineffective.

I will say I have pwrlvled probably over 80 people in my ls to around 18-20 and for 1 reason, so they can participate in our events. Rank 1-20 is solo and honestly most people I meet in-game do not want to do that. SO get them to 25 and get them doing leves, dungeons, Nms, grind partys in a group... and they enjoy the game alot more. Many people said they where at the verge of quitting Pre-25 before getting in my group... now they have multiple 50s.

While Pwrlvling is negative in some ways (gets ppl higher up with no knowledge of the game) in this case it gets them to a point they can truly play the game they way they want to, with others.

explain this too me what i read was

I could be level 25 and get someone level 50 which would be in my party. I would go kill mobs that are for my level range which give me good amount of exp. So let's say i attack 10 mobs around my level and the person who level 50 "Outside party" Attack each mob and kill them. Wont i get all the great EXP from all 10 mobs? even if the exp go downhill from 21+?

Fast kills not working everywhere. The slow respawn rate hit you faster then.

Hmm that very true i overlook the high re-spawn even if you kill everything in the area you in you have to wait. So at the end you still killing the same amount of mob but it be quicker.


So let's say your in a camp with 20 mob's and it take's you approximately 30min's to kill all of them, and it take's 15min's for re-spawn the first few mobs that you killed have already re-spawned by then. If you have a p-lvl it take's you 1min to kill all 20 mob's leaving you 15min's waiting for the mob's to re-spawn. In other word's plvl's would only be beneficial on camp's in which the mob's have a low respawn time.

I guess i overlook the re-spawn issue with FFXIV. But people would find a way to level up quicker with the system matter what.
