Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[Travesty]

Can you quote where he said it was a "Bug" or and "exploit"

Maybe you read something we all didn't.

I recall "we didn't expect it to be used this way"

Remind you of anything?

Ninja FFXI?

i just read it

no where in the post does it say the mechanic isnt working as intended

what they are saying is there is an issue with people "AFK"ing during it

now that i can see as an issue, and in its own way "illegal" play

you cant be afk and benefit from it, thats obviously not how its supposed to work

but no where in it does he say they misprogrammed it

It doesnt say its a bug, it says not working how they thought (People AOEing).

Its like FFXI Ninja did not work as how they intended.

Really guys?

He specifically says that the limiting of exp with a higher level player in the party is not working. The translation is literally "not working as intended." Which means bugged. Which means exploit.

Just cause you like the exp doesn't mean you can suddenly convince me I can't read lol.

So all they have to do is make it so the player has to have at least a green enmity icon in order to gain exp in that case. so now, shield-bearing PL'er only has to pull a bunch of mobs, war drums, PL'd pler love taps each of them, AOE. makes it take a little longer. sound good?

At the beginning of the game, there was another instance of "clever use of mechanics" by which conjurers could level 1-50 in a couple of days. The offenders got all the unfair experience removed when this was fixed. With this precedent in mind I don't see why SE shouldn't do the same now.

Note that I'm perfectly happy with the PLing as it is now and would like it to stay as is, but if SE now claim that this was not intended behaviour and it is an unfair way of earning experience, then they should definitely remove all the experience that was unfairly given out, along with fixing the bug that allows this in the first place.

yes
we like the exp
we LOVE the exp

we are so taking advantage of the exp

oh wait we had all our combat classes to 50 before the patch!

yes, we are really all about the exp here....


look at who your talking to about this lol, we arent the ones taking advantage o fit, but we understand "bad translation dev talk" pretty well, a few of us follow them very closely and usualy can tell what bad wording is or what they mean.


the inhibitor thats not working is the old claim system(its not working cuz they removed it)
they didnt think it through fully is what hes pretty much admiting to

thats not a bug or exploit, they dont use the word bug or exploit

Actually because of the nature of ranged attacks in this game it will probably slow it down considerably. The low level having to tag each mob first puts them in considerably more danger than the way it is now.

honestly, that doesnt sound like a bad idea to me
if you dont engage the mob(attack it) you shouldnt get exp for being afk....

Wow really ? The people on this forums go really far sometimes on things, i mean ok they gonna adress PL after all the crying and bitching about it, but now you wanna punish people for it too ? Damm!

Yeah lets go ahead and ban all the people, is not like this game is suffering from low populations right ?

I really dont think you can read. Especially considering on the color post he explains the bugs n flaws, but this is just "Not working as intended." which is "We didnt think you guys would link 10 mobs and aoe them".

Blame QA.

Not to mention, the system is gunna stay, just AFK will have a counter measure.

It's not the old claim system lol. It's having a high level IN your party. It should be limiting exp with a high level in a lower level's party. It isn't. It is broken. Period. That's just what's going on lol.

To the OP, go get PLed to even things out. Then you can stop feeling sorry for yourself, or whatever kind of jealousy it is you are feeling.

The fact that you are trying to "get back" at these people who are being PLed disturbs me more than the people being PLed themselves. Grow a pair and ignore it. Its getting fixed.
