Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Joeking]

Balance is impossible to find because I'm sure if they made it difficult to gain exp again people will back on the forums with new threads with the same thread, same name. Except it will be in reverse, Oh Exp is so hard to get.. KOREAN GRIND!!!!!!

If a friend/family members wanted to perhaps try this game and ask you to power level them would your response to those people be? "No, your a scum of the earth, level like I did tedious endless suffering!".

I agree with the seperate servers which was suggested so that the people that like to suffer should be given the game release exp system.

Oh you killed a level 50 mob! you gained 0 exp.. Sorry you weren't lucky enough to gain exp. This would also mean that you gain Exp through using skills and healing would give no exp so it would be awesome...

Conjurer : No using skills, also I'm not healing anyone since that gives me no exp make this monster live as long as possible so we can get max exp benefits!.... Ah the Good ol' Days...

I know the feeling, bro. Customer Service is a really crappy place to be. And this confirms what I suspected your job was from your previous comment in-game.

It's why I blew off work in the end, after 3 years there I snapped. Now I want to do something else from home. Maybe email support, at least you can filter caps.

Glad your starting to work out my role - I hope you see that my harsh attitude is through years of being weathered by honest to god absolute morons. Like the real bottom of the barrel brainless that make me wonder how they dress themselves in the morning. (I can't directly say what I do, but it is customer service related).

The difference with me though, is that the job I am in is one step on the career ladder away from my dream job, and im currently being considered for it, which means goodbye forever to having to act like I care to the general publics piddly little non-issues, and hellooooo job I have wanted since I can remember.

Joeking, this is a formal request to change your sig. Creeps me the HELL out.

Isn't that from Goosebumps? That short-lived TV run?

All negativity aside, that's great! I hope you get it.

Thanks, honestly im a great guy outside of forums, and have worked hard for 3 years to get this. I am close to going mental in my current role.

you can still PL with the claim system intact, so what the purpose of taking the claim system away? No claim system causes a big mess when you have a multiple PTs in one area killing groups of mobs. Sometimes you end up help the other PTs out by mistake.

Power leveling is viewed very differently from player to player, and I still stand by my stance that it should be allowed to a certain extent to bridge the gap between long-time players and newer players. This is because I see it as an act of volunteering, in which the power leveling players are willing to give up their time to help out their friends or family members.

so this is what yashida really thinking. he still think PL is good. well, fine he decide to take game to this direction. whateve, i don't aggree his vision any more. bye-bye ffxiv. good luck to those who still enjoy the game. have fun

I dont think anyone would tolerate a server rollback, especially since people have done alot more than just crazy exp parties.

Yeah I think they're just gonna have to let what will be alone. There are people completing missions, leveling new jobs, etc. etc. Rolling back the server would result in a lot of unrelated progress being rolled back as well.. which would cause an even greater uproar than the PL'ing itself.

Lesser of two evils, in other words.

I'm just glad to "hear" that they're aware of the issue, that it's not intended, and that it's going to be addressed.

It will be interesting to see how many rage threads are started about "xp being nerfed" and people quitting because of it once that happens. There are people out there who seriously think 1-50 inside of a day is perfectly valid and acceptable and will likely be pretty pissed when they can't do it anymore. I'll have my popcorn ready .

Anyway, I think a number of the people obsessed with getting to level 50 as fast as possible, at whatever cost, are going to be basically running themselves out of the game that much faster. It happens in every MMO, no matter how much content there is waiting for them at level cap. It certainly will be no exception here.

In every MMO, there's a group of players who hit level cap ASAP. They burn through all the content. They get bored. They complain on the forums about "lack of content". They leave for some new MMO. They repeat exactly the same thing all over again.

Meanwhile, those of us taking in the sights, enjoying the content and just enjoying the journey (which is becoming more and more entertaining with each patch they release), will be contentedly making progress and having fun.

I'm sure SE is trying to increase the population rather cut themselves more and increase the bleeding.
