    [Devs] Power leveling - abuse, please important

    1.19 a fixed powerleveling where lvl 20 and 50 cant be in party. ( lvl 1 engages mob and 50 outside party kills it, this works and its ok).

    However powerleveling still can be abused. Example ::

    Party x/8, in this party there are low levels and lvl 50.
    Lvl 50 will take 10 high lvl mobs. Now comes important part ot the flaw :

    Party leader will oust Lvl 50 off from party. Lvl 50 kill all mobs ousted from party, however Exp belongs to all other lower levels. Now party leader will send invite to lvl 50 and circle goes on.

    I am not against power-leveling if other tries and play someway too. In this case they dont move and stand afk while xp.

    I see this as abuse of game mechanic, its not perfect and it should have been fixed in the near future. Thank you, for letting devs know.

    Its bugged and devs didnt plan it this way. They fixed it to what I mentioned, however its still flawed with party oust/invite.

    Ahh, the good old days when you could't disband or invite people when engaged.
    They were good ?

    Sounds like a lot of trouble to exploit XP gain. If people want to go to those lengths, more power to them.

    It's as Yoshi-P said, the 50's have to give up time they could spend doing other things to benefit themselves in order to PL others.

    As long as they aren't breaking any of the rules set in game, and they gain every bit of XP needed to go from 1 to 50, is it really a problem?

    REpost in the general discussion. I'm sure this will get more comments there. I think this should DEFINATELY get fixed.

    Powerlevel should not even be in the game it's 1year old add it when the game is 5-8year old like FFXI where there not a lot of new players joining. I don't know how many time i said this but not even in wow you can;t level up this quick to 50 and talking about a person joining right now without link friend account or the gear that level up with you.

    it's a joke people getting 50 not knowing how to play there class and getting ifrit and everything done get bored and quit i don't see how this help ffxiv at all.

    How many times are we going to have this discussion.

    SE has allocated its resources in such a way that they can produce something every few months to occupy those that spent a year leveling to cap with zero content otherwise while they continue to build the foundation for 2.0.

    Powerleveling and the brief grind to cap is a necessary evil because SE can't afford to make any mid level content for 1.x. It's the only way to be fair to everyone. This way the capped players have something to do and new players can catch up and experience it before the slate is wiped clean.

    Due to its failed launch and crippling design, XIV wil never be a game of convention. Get used to it.

    Not an exploit.

    Please don't post useless topics because you don't like something.
