Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Midge]

Something nice I've noticed with this "Big bad powerleveling" is although there is no level sync, a lower level player (say Level 34) can tag along with some friends doing leves or just exping (say rank 44+) and get good exp and have fun with them. Mind you, it hurts the exp of the higher level players and the low level can die much easier but they get the advantage of bringing their lower level friend along and helping him out.

Additionally, so far at least, I've noticed a high volume of exp party shouts. Maybe this will decline as time goes on, (or improve once we get a better partying UI?) it's hard to say. But so far, the powerleveling pros seem to outweigh the cons, lease from my perspective.

Once again when PL become main steam no one going to want to party which then mean other players have to A: Solo or B: get a powerlevel.

It's still grinding even if it's PLing. If people really want to do quests they will. I do. I do a lot of low level quests even though I receive no experience points.

It's not grinding when the person can /follow watch a movie come back and gain 10+level within a movie.

@vahzl: This should not be allow someone just skip 30 level without doing anything should never be allow in a game. they have to fix this asap

It still takes someone to grind that xp.

What makes you think your opinion should be signed law?

Nobody is going to be PLed to max level like you seem to suggest, and even if they do who cares anymore, not like there is some vast amazing end game to run around in. There is nothing waiting at max level to work for so why do you suggest people should invest so much effort into it?

Ever hear of RMT? Yeah, if PLing becomes by far the best way to level up, that will become their pot of gold.

So your argument is that because there's nothing waiting at endgame, we should introduce a way to get there faster and shorten the rest of the game/make the other content for those levels obsolete? Wow. GENIUS!

Coming from a 38 glad.

WHAT CONTENT? Let me guess you think 40 levels of leves and caravans should be considered content, rofl.
I had concerns at one point but no longer. I was pissed about the RMT also until I woke up and realized they have limited presence in this game due to the fact that nobody is willing to pay for this game let alone buy currency for it.

Let them PL for no reason, what are they going to do, monopolize Shposhae?! scary!

It's been one year and still limited content so it's safe to say that the real job system will be here long before real content is added to the game. It appears these will not be solo jobs and will more than likely be the jobs that matter, not these silly DoW/DoM we have now. Stop acting like the sky is falling, genius

The game has sh*t for content as a whole. But because of that fact doesn't mean we should remove a huge portion of the game, leveling, so that people reach the end quicker and have nothing to do. That's the worst argument I've ever heard.

Face it, bearded old man. Your intellect argument ends here. You're just throwing out one reason after another to look for a way around making a rule just because you 'feel' it is wrong. To say "oh noes RMT will be involved" is the lamest excuse. RMT are involved in all activity.

Yeah, this is what Yoshi-P intended for people to do, to use their high level characters with their friends and to get some exp while the lower players try to participate (but stay wary of things that may kill them). That is the only good thing that came out of this change, but at the same time it's being exploited at the cost of the MMO's eventual longevity, which is the issue here.
