Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Crica]

People generally enjoy cheating at least in the short term. That doesn't make it a good idea to let people cheat.

which has nothing to do with players playing a game for enjoyment and the majority enjoying the PLing that the game allows them to enjoy and a few players telling the majority to stop it...

It has everything to do with it. If you could get invincibility by typing iddqd, people would do it, have "fun" being invincible, then cry when others point out that the game just got its legs violently decapitated. That's exactly what's going on here.

Are you seriously suggesting that PL is the intended way to progress in the game? Like, seriously? As in you're not abusing a broken exp formula? There is a reason why PL is not very effective in most games. Heck, even FFXI calculates your exp based on the highest level present in the group to prevent this.

no, I am stating for a fact that Yoshi-P (you know, the PRODUCER of the game) did, however, so we all can help our FRIENDS and BUDDIES catch up to us and play together with them....

Straight from Yoshi - P: Power Leveling was given by Yoshi-P to the players with his blessing! /joy!

Q: After the claiming system change in patch 1.19, I'm afraid everyone will be power leveling each other. What do you think of this?

A: It depends on what you consider power leveling. For example, if my friend and I were playing completely different games. I've already reached the level 50 cap, and then I invite my friend. Of course I want to do end game content like Ifrit with him, but I invited him, and he wants to play too, and we are really good friends so I want to help him out.

I can help him out with my level 50 character when he's being attacked by a monster. Of course it's going to lower the XP a bit, but I'd like to make it a bit loose and not too strict. I just want to make sure friends are able to help each other if they want to challenge content together by filling the gap.

He allowing powerlevel yes but he said you get less EXP not get the full amount or you can't read that part? You should not be getting 500+ exp for someone killing mob 10-15mobs for someone who level 15 and the mobs also 20-30+ level over the person. So at the end the game is broken and the powerleveling much be gimp so people don't get 500-1k+ exp for killing mobs for you that over 10+ level over you.

There a lot of things is broken in this patch the hate control being one of them.

It seem there over 70+ so people are agreeing that is broken all you people just want a easy way to get 50 without doing much work. The point of a game is to level up grind yourself up to max level and then do endgame. But it seem now at days everyone just want to do the endgame part without even trying to get max level.

There many way SE can help ppl get more exp and level up faster, "EXP ring" "Link account" and the person still have to grind just take less time. Right now i can get 1-38 and ask a friend or my gf to powerlevel me while i'm sleeping. Then 38-50 i do stronghold and get 1+k and make 80k or over. I still don't understand why you people think this is ok there not even enough to do at 50 for us to be level up this fast. I understand if we talking about FFXI or wow where there lot's to do but even then FFXI and wow had stuff to do low level. FFXI garrison at 20 and then again at 30 there BCNM you could hunt down NM you could do lot's of rewarding and fun quest.

So getting level 50 in this game just to do what? dungeon,ifrit, strong holds? that not even enough stuff to do to make hardcore or casual something to do. All we have Atm is level up or maybe i just don't see the big picture here we can make this game casual but still be hard and fun i guess people don't understand that.
