Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

It can be reached. It can't be reached with 1 person doing the killing. Pre 40 the average exp/kill is about 800 (if you yourself are 10 levels or less below mob).

That means to get 250k/hour you would need to kill 10 mobs every 2 minutes on the dot. AOE only affects 10 mobs. 2 minute re-spawns aren't always guaranteed.

PL will always be here in some form. It's called "power" leveling because someone is helping you get experience faster than you normally would.

In XI you got healed by a 75, which meant you didn't need to sit on your arse for a few minutes between fights to recoup. Saving you time. Pulling faster. Faster experience than a regular party could do. For 5-7 years at least in the game.

getting leveled by someone sitting outside the party healing while you did work is one thing. having someone heal themselves, kill the mobs, and give you free sp while you stand around and do nothing is completely different. as many people, including myself, have stated this is a major issue when grind parties cannot be formed because the power level sp is multiple times faster.

Everyone's biggest complaint is that PLing is making the content in-between useless. That it takes away from what SE has to offer.

I love this game, but what content? We need content, we have very little. Rather than focusing our whining and nagging about PL, focus on the lack of content.

Right now there's really no reason to be mid-level. If people want to grind, there are PLENTY of games out there that offer that. They can play those.

We don't need to get rid of PL we need to get rid of the reasons most people PL.

1) low population = no parties = reason for PL
2) no content = no reason to level + reason 1 = reason for PL

Two big ones. PL is always here as I said. You will never see it disappear.

no, they need to get rid of the children that feel they need to be power leveled at 10x the sp of a grind party. it's pathetic that one group says that others should not want a grind party and if they do they should go to another game. if you can't agree that there needs to be some balance between power leveling and a grind party itself it is you who is whining and being childish because it is you that wishes to keep the imbalance.

you are reminding me of a snot nosed 5 year old child "i want my levels now and i don't care who else it effects."
