Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

And here we go again.

Before: Wah wah there's so much boring grinding.

After: Wah wah it's too easy to level up.

You will never be happy.

There's a pretty large difference between boring grind and broken power leveling. Is the target in the middle really that hard to hit?

I've never seen anyone on this forum say "I want to be able to go from level 1-50 in a day without actually killing anything myself."

There's a huge difference between wanting a less grindy grind, and wanting leveling to be virtually abolished. Don't act like just because people are complaining about the latter when they wanted the former, they're somehow hypocrites.

it broken because a 50 in a party can kill a 30mob and the player would get the EXP for kill a 30mob. When yoshi-p said it would be fix so you would not get that much exp off it.

Power-level like this should not be allow for that just give everyone who join a 50 save the work.

I'm usually not one to post here due to the drooling idiots spewing misinformation -- and my general lack of just not caring.

But saying the wrong shit is saying the wrong shit. Test things and bring actual numbers before throwing wild claims.

Setup:
Lv50 THM
Lv1 ARC
LV28 CNJ

Enemies:
Lv35-39 Sea Hares

Exp:
The Arc would gain a base (no chain/link bonus) of 200 on these enemies.
The CNJ would gain 500.

You want to tell me that a lv1 is gaining the EXP of the higher level mob? They aren't. They're gaining proper exp with a proper cap in place for the enemy being higher level.

I could go and get base EXP for every level as well as a nice little % increase and the cutoff point for being a higher level is -- But screw that, I'm busy Leveling all my Jobs to the 30s.

Either way, I've seen it mentioned too much here that the "cap" for enemies being higher than the player isn't working and a low level gets the exp of a lv30, or whatever fake numbers people want to throw out.

System's working as made, albeit extremely abusable.

If someone wants to sit there and pl ppl for hours end let them do say you guys are acting like ppl are going from 1-30 in 2 hrs which i know isn't true lol. also you could pl ppl pre patch also just could not do it as fast cause of no chain/link bonus.

Edit: to the poster above thank you that's what i was gonna say you don't get the same exp as higher rank ppl you get caped for the max exp you can earn @ your lvl.

No, that actually is close to true. Several people are reporting numbers like that. 35-44 in 2 hours, 25k exp in under 5 minutes at level 24 etc.

You are not getting no damn 25k in 5 min unless they are AoE spamming and you could do this post update lol.

AOE spamming is what a lot of people are doing lol. That's the point.

What do you think, all these different people putting out huge numbers are all lying? Read the thread, this is an obvious issue.

Honestly i don't care if ppl are power lvling it does not bother me one bit. only people who care about it is the ones not getting pl'ed them selves.

Or people who think it's a cheap way of leveling up... Which it is.
