Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Krausus]

The current power-leveling exploit creates two "issues" worth discussion.

1. The ability to gain a massive number of levels in a short amount of time (days instead of weeks or months).
2. The detrimental effect it has on people who do not wish to use it to form light and full parties.

Arguing semantics, who is or is not anti-social, etc, is not worthy of discussion ... and does not address these two issues.

The question I have for the community is a simple one.

"Do you want FFXIV to be a game with very rapid leveling ... or not?"

For me it is a Yes I want there to be rapid leveling. Due to the nature of the armory system (needing to rank up multiple classes to be worth a damn) and the fact that Yoshi-P clearly stated long ago that he wants FFXIV to focus on endgame and not leveling it would only make sense that you can level quickly.
