petition to make leveling optional (ex. auto-50)

[Azurymber]

Wow, why are people raging on the OP? Goodness! Aren't we all adults here? Can't we do this debating thing civilly....really...

Anywho, if they made this game fun to play, make the leveling feel less grindy, this wouldn't be an issue. I know I have said this over and over as an example,but look at Dragon Age Origins...FUN! And I know it's not an online game, but I think MMO's in general could take notice of what they did to the regular consule game and some how add it to MMO's...then people wouldn't be huffing and puffing over insta-level in a day or year after year grind...just a thought!

they are making an MMO based on dragon age. its called star wars: the old republic.
Bioware was genius in converting that rpg engine to an mmo.

anyway i feel bad that i had to kinda manipulate out this response but i think it worked out pretty well. theres prob at least 15 pages or rage. Should be a -clear- sign that people don't want auto-leveling.

And isn't this the same team that nerfed the Leve exploit a few months back?

The bottom line is that PLing is an exploit (granted, it was dev team approved - and we called that this would happen before the patch) that is being taken advantage of. Just like with the GL exploit there are people who are all for it, because they want to take the easy route to 50 (as if there was anything at the end of that tunnel). These people don't care about balance, or the economy of the game. They don't care about whether or not crafters have any reason to make them gear. They just want everything NOW.

I've been playing this game for a year. I played at my own pace (roughly 5-10 hours a week when active). I got my first Level 50 last night in a grind party (not a PL party). I will say that I had a lot of fun on this long road that I chose to take. Leveling from 1-50 is possible without shortcuts, and the focus should be on making that leveling experience a good one, by providing content for everyone along the way (the new Lv15 dungeon is a good step in that direction, but the PLing issue undermines the inclusion of that content at all) - not letting people skip that part of the game all together.



I think that the response to this thread proves our point.

Err... I'm not sure what you're getting at in your post? Are you agreeing with me? Disagreeing with me? Expanding on what I said? lol.. I'm a bit confused.

I'm against the PL'ing - especially to this degree - in any MMO, FFXIV or otherwise. I am not a fan of it and hope they do patch it up... sooner than later. I mean, being helped along if you're having a rough time of a couple levels or whatever is one thing.. but PL'ing 1-50 in a day.. or hell.. even a week.. is ridiculous.

That's awesome that you dinged 50 by actually playing. And grats on 50 btw .

Guys wait.

Listen to this

What if

Guys pay attention

What if we removed the combat system and

guys are you listening?

What if we remove the combat system and make the game an FPS?

I'll take my GOTY award, thank you.

I was hoping i would get a bunch of ppl to rage against the idea, devs would notice, and they'd patch the game (since they seem to completely ignore the powerleveling threads)

No, you attention w****, everyone is raging against you. Hooray, you got the attention you wanted!

This thread delivers hillarity on a great scale. I never thought anyone would be stupid enough to even imagine someone would even suggest such a absurb idea.

But I've seen a few nutballs support it!? Ahh priceless.

This parody thread is the best ever. If anyone still thinks that this is a serious suggestion...I seriously suggest you re-read the thread and see the oozing sarcasm in every line.

Nah pretty sure it came from Knights of the Old republic 1 & 2 both were good rpgs though first i think was better
i see it this way youve already been given the choice to PL or not to why would you need auto lvl this is the same as someone buying accounts just doesnt make any sense

[FallenRaine]

yes... this is a stupid idea. that was the point.
right now you can essentially get powerleveled to 50 in a day.
that is a problem

No I'm more than certain you thought it was an awesome idea until everyone raged on you. Don't act like it was all part of Your big convoluted Scheme to get the Devs to take PL out of the game just makes you look /facepalm

The Idea had died in your last forum page and ppl didnt like it. if you were against the idea you would have left it there and not made a new thread about it. Since it died off the devs wouldnt have seen it anyway. Which would give you no reason to bring it up unless you supported it fully.

You had an idea and many many ppl didnt agree with you... pick yourself up and try again later lol dont try to switch sides

hehe I know right!

...and lol @ the people that thought Azury was trying to be clever—Azury is... how should I put it? "Limited"? Azury has a history of creating threads that are just ridiculous over at FFXIV Core and here on The Lode. Most of us can see through his crap.

Why would someone who has spent a long ammount of time compiling guides on how to level support skipping the entire game? The sheer audacity of anyone wanting it at all is silly enough...but come on really?

I dont know man ask yourself.. Do you post something unless you back it 100%?
whos to say that she didnt steal the guides from others or parts of others work to make her own? copy & paste helps

btw sarcasm is lost on the internet so i wouldnt even bring that up lol she was serious
