Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Zenaku]

As much as you like to accuse people of not reading, I don't think you actually follow your own advice. Here's what Yoshida actually said just before the patch was released:



The whole idea here is to let people use their level 50 status to help get their friends to 50 so they can join them in endgame faster. Yes, he did say the XP would be lowered, but obviously not to the extent that you seem to be claiming it should be. You've penciled in a whole lot of opinion into what you've claimed Yoshida has said about it, and it's not even close.

The intention of powerleveling is pretty clear to anyone who can read.

Once again it should not be that much EXP 2# how people are doing is taking there friends to high mob camp they go afk and they AOE everything they have to worry about RMT. I'm sorry matter how you pictrue yoshi-p is out of his mind he just going to get a lot of ppl mad later that there noting to do once they get done with everything and get bored.

But the entire point is to use power leveling to get your friend to endgame quickly so they don't get bored / feel left out wallowing at low levels by themselves.

However, you don't have to be powerleveled. If the journey to 50 is more your thing, then take the time to enjoy it. There's no pressure to get powerleveled at all unless it's for the express intended purpose which is to get into endgame content faster.

So, to sum up, if you care about endgame, you can get there faster through powerleveling. If you care about leveling at your own pace without any help, then don't get powerleveled and enjoy the existing low level content at your leisure. If one of these options isn't fun for you, then don't do it. It's a game. Have fun with it.

once again everyone would do the powerlevel i just saw 10 ppl pass by me each with a 50 and 20-30 getting party level. No one going to do anything else but that.

sorry it have to be fix.

So what if everyone is level 50 now? The game has been out a year. Having a substantial endgame crowd sounds about right for an MMO that old. It was hard for the first people to reach rank 50. But they've had 10 or so months to bask in that glory for a task that's been repeated by so many others since that time.

Level 50 is not a big deal anymore. It's not a unique accomplishment. Hasn't been for some time. Just let it go.

Seriously?! I have to do it a third time?

There seems to be a handful of people here that refuse to see the truth of the damage this could do to the game. It's like ignorance, the folly of man.

It's not about jealousy from veterans from launch.
It's not about pride, or gloating from the top of the mountain.
It's not about greed, it's not like anyone wants to have a "special class" by being 50. (That notion already doesn't exist.)
It's not about the lack of content, that is being fixed every patch.

It. Simply. Breaks. The. Game.
I don't know how this couldn't be any more clear, any more true, any more resoundingly correct.

How about you let it go? while we try and save this game for you? i'm sorry if you agree with this type of level up system but a big % of us don't and should not be like this. FFXI got killed for the same reason we don't want to happen in ffxiv top of that there not enough thing to do at the end of this game anyways so what the big deal of race to max.

You're not saving this game for me, you're guarding your level 50 castle by attempting to throw roadblocks in front of anyone else who might have an easier time to catch up. It's like demanding the interstate highways be torn up because your ancestors had to cross the country by stagecoach, and making it easier dishonors their hardship.

Stop focusing on how you've made yourself "better" than someone else for your sense of worth, because that's all this complaining about powerleveing is rooted in. Focus on what you find challenging and rewarding. Who cares how hard anyone else has it?

I'm sorry, did you miss this or simply ignore it?
