Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

^insert silly sob willing to pay rmt.

When you see "pst for price"(and I have) thats rmt ruining your game. I understand its not working as intended, but please close the door on rmt. Dont hold it open for them.

I'm sure(hope) you all have posted to that effect but I couldnt help myself.

look the people that is complaining about this stuff are selfish, and most likely they arent even playing the game.

They might be afraid that this game is starting to take a really good shape, you know what i did while you were complaining i leveled up several classes that i wanted to and enjoyed them a lot, they brought back grind parties thanks to that.

So go bitch another game, i heard Guild Wars 2 is opening bussiness....

You mean you watched someone level up for you. I can't even summon the effort to play the world's smallest violin for your loss, it's just asinine.

People were disgusted because this broken PL system took level grinding, one of the cornerstones of RPGs, particularly MMO's, and made it utterly trivial.

You may be content with a game that damn near literally spoon feeds you levels for doing absolutely nothing aside from joining a party, but most of us, apparently the dev's included, are not. The real enjoyment comes from the challenge.

Then "Must have Enmity to gain EXP", Healers will generate enmity then.

Then you will likely see people just hitting of a heal while DD kills lol

Also would pigeon
hole people into fighting 1 mob at a time. i really dont see that working out too well especially with the new link system

The exp is pretty horrid unless you have someone helping you out. Making it so higher level friends can't help you isn't the way to fix the game.

Had someone at level cap helping us do leves went by pretty fast we got a lot of exp. got about 30k exp in 30 min. He had to go so my friend and I did 1 leve without him and it took about 20 mins for 2k exp. So yea exp sucks with a small group and lower level people do not want really slow grindy exp.

Have you even played FFXI in abyssea where you can pay someone gil go afk for like 6 hours and come back and be level capped.

Having a high level person help you out is no different then FFXI exping you in abyssea. Only its still slower in FFXIV.

I never said that i was AFK while leveling, i leveled my lancer from 40-50 at the amalja stronghold i a few days, you cant even go afk there because of the number of mobs that spawns there, especially at the second room, and yes about the power leveling of some people its absurd they dont even need to move to get exp, theres always a side for all the stuff but its not my fault that theres people like that in the game, but what i wouldnt want is that because of some trolls we get nerf exp, now i see the good thing of doing exp parties because the rewards you get by doing those, didnt you even notice that you dont have to do everything on your own, is it that bad?.

But as i said before the people that is always whining is because they suck or dont even play the game, example: marauder guy that equips shitty gear claims that the archers are way too powerful, but he doesnt even know that his crap gear is taking toll on his damage, i always check different strategies to be better damage dealer i even think lancer is now the best damage dealer in game.

So in a few words play the game, leave the forums alone make constructive contributions not spoiled childish stuff like this, and yes they dont play the game because they keep track on every reply the thread has every minute. i actually didnt even looked at the forums since the patch, so dont feed this trolls.

The massive grind in this game is the reason the 90% of people who bought this game left.

Its your choice to be cheating, at the end this is a game, AND GAMES ARE MADE TO BE PLAYED, so play it without cheating and you might even enjoy it, they should put back the level cap thing i grant you that, ok thats it for a few days.

Ok i said the last one was my last, but you see now im not playing the game im being like them, NOOOOOOOO!!!! i beter go back playing...

Lol, well just to reply this, so you mean you want to be level 50 from day 1, wtf is wrong with you? yes its old but its part of the same process to keep people doing stuff in game, and no it doesnt feel old to me at the moment, they did something good for you and you even protests, they made the leveling process quicker so you could become an ubber powerful player and leave the old stuff like grinding behind really fast so you couldnt even remember how you got to 50 in first place, who gets you people, well im off or ill become like all of you.

Only its not cheating and you obviously haven't played FFXI where exp has been pretty similar for the past year or more, only its faster to get to cap in FFXI then it is in FFXIV.

They should make a system that you most do a % of the work to get the EXP this would stop powerlevel. If he want people to take 2-3month to level and still add powerlevel that not going to work out.

I got 1-40 on conj by doing party and that did not take 2month more like 6days.
