[Devs] Power leveling - abuse, please important

[Rowyne]

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.?

Doing what? Everyone is bored to death. Where is this imaginary content they could be working on?

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 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.

Agreed. A Final Fantasy game should never have a leveling curve that's faster than World of Warcraft. It's something the devs should be embarrassed of, frankly.

Instead of encouraging others to blow through the levels, maybe the devs should be creating meaningful content so that people will want to legitimately play through them.

Powerleveling is on the fast track to ruining FFXIV.

As I've said a few dozen times: power leveling and a short trip to cap are a neccassary evil in XIV.

If anything is the death of the game, it'll be the failed launch.

Yoshida and crew looked at what resources they had, and realized they only can afford to design high level content as they try to shape 2.0 into the game XIV should have been.

It's only fair to everyone involved that if, for the remainder of 1.x, all they can do is design level 50 encounters that everyone have a fair shot at getting to 50 before the calamity hits that beings 2.0 and wipes most of this content out.

XIV cannot afford many archaic MMO conventions.
