How does PL'ing affect you?

[Issac]

Exactly.. in any scenario, in any MMO.

Those types of people - the "Level Cap ASAP" and xp/hr obsessed types - will be complaining even 3 years down the line when the end-game is much more developed. The idea is that they blow through 80-90% of the game because they consider only the last 10-20% to be "the part that matters". Then they get bored and complain that the 10-20% isn't given more attention than the 80-90% they raced through/past.

Like I said, it happens in every MMO.

And it has nothing to do with the MMORPG in question. It has everything to do with the people themselves.

That there's currently an extremely broken method of PL'ing now is incidental. It's just allowing them to reach the same end-result faster. Whatever the situation in the game is, they'll always find "the fastest and most efficient way to reach level cap", with the same exact result.

Your post is actually a great example of what I'm getting at.

Yeah but i feel they are a minority.

It'll take me a year to lvl to cap at least, mainly cause i enjoy the experience of lvling, part to do with rerolling if i don't like something about my character's developement (i swear i have OCD) and i'll enjoy lvling the first few times. But eventually it will become mundane. Eventually it will be the same with others. These people will be the one's wanting to take advantage of it.

Most people have been playing for a year, alot already have 50's and they're done it over and over and over. Why cut it out completely just for the few stupid people that powerleveled and can't learn the mechanics.

And on a different server to boot.

let them PL. i see no point in buying a game if there not going to play it. and when they get to r50 watch them all flood the forums with "there is no endgame" threads. there all in a rush to get to the end but the game is not finished

but i see the OP's point, i solo a lot so it's not ruined my game. but sorry for the OP

Yep, heheh. That's another funny aspect of this whole thing. They're in a hurry to reach an end-game that isn't exactly well represented yet.

/sarcasm on

Racing to end-game so you can hurry up and wait... and wait.. and wait.

Sure sounds like fun to me!

How others choose to level their classes has no effect on me.

What, you're not on Selbina anymore?

[AlexNiculaie]

Has zero effect on me. I think in this entire week since the patch was released I have seen one PL party which had all of 4 people in it. Even if half the server was doing it, it still wouldn't effect me because how someone else plays their character doesn't involve me unless I want it to.

Actually, and you are well aware of this, it's more like get a high level while the goings good, then return once the game is.

its still broken logic. you want to get your player to be ready for endgame. then put the game away till it is finnished and come back when it is. at this point you will be paying for a subscription. so at this point while the game is F2P, and you can get to learn to play your player you can be making friends and linkshells. you can test and retest all the little changes as each patch comes out. get to learn the story and the lore.

but rather than get to know game that you will one day be paying for. you would rather stick it in a draw, wait till its finished to P2P. miss out 75percent of the game and pay to run around in a few dungeons. at which point you could be playing any MMO and you will have missed out anything that makes this game final fantasy.
