Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

In B4 screenshot or it never happenned.

Good luck getting them to change this. I'm sure they had NO IDEA that this would be the result. Honestly, they know what they're doing. It's still a grind to get to 50. This thread is meritless.

When my friend logs in I'll fraps and youtube a video for you from level 1.

The entire post outlines how it affects my gameplay. They are all facets and consequences of it. Read between the lines.

So instead of asking for clarification you challenge my intelligence. Bravo. Line of conversation ended.

Alright I'll bite: What I'm getting from reading between the lines is that while the mobs are the same difficulty, have the same abilities, are in the same places, and every other element in the game is entirely the same, the only difference is is that people are having their own fun in a different way, and you will not stand for that.

Could you offer some clarification, or are you going to bail out again?

Powerleveling is in all MMOs. In WoW, you can get from lvl 1 - 85 within a week. Heirlooms that gives +10% exp each, Guild perks another 10-20%more exp and ofc the Recruit a Friend with 30% exp I think it was.

I spent 2 hours with my friends grinding Ixali camps all around last night and I had a lot of fun tbh.

Man, all I can say is if that's your idea of fun, and in the doubtful scenario that the majority agrees, then this game won't be for me. I said it before, I'll take my money elsewhere when the time comes, if this remains.

Because if it remained as such, there wouldn't be a point to even having levels. It would be an entirely new genre of game. And this new genre wouldn't be one I enjoy. If FFXIV becomes this in the end, I'll find myself a "classic style MMO" because I'm too old for the new generation that doesn't want to work for their progression in a MMO.

I don't want to play an action-style game where time spend on leveling doesn't matter and gear/player skill determines all. Sure, that's fine for endgame, but endgame comes at the- Oh, wait for it- END. Do I need to define "end?" Endgame, as in, the options available to you after reaching the END of what you were progressing for.

But no, these concepts must be becoming too antiquated for the new generation to accept. I'm too old school. Maybe this will not be the MMO for me.

But, judging by the usual responses I get from saying this kind of thing, I'm sure I'm the only one that feels this way.

You are not.

I for one has a friend that just started i cant wait to plvl him so i can enjoy content with somone i know. Plus alot of my LS have been trying desperatly to catch up to me (even tho im only lvl 38) and the rest of my ls so we can enjoy content together, there are so many different classes to level so i dont think its a big deal. You should rejoice that you are able to level faster.

You are not.

All I can say is that I hope that it is either fixed very soon, or, just a temporary measure.
