Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Krausus]

Before 1.19:
Plenty of people in all ranges for every battle class.

Now:
90% of server population either has all jobs 50 or every job they want 50. New players have the option to get PL'd by a friend or solo, legitimate parties dwindle.

That is an unfortunate side effect of every MMO in existance, this game has been out for over a year now, new players will always have issue finding a party. FFXIV will have one thing that will help, that most MMOs dont and that is a relaunch that includes a console version thus an influx of new players.

I would agree with the "PL is an issue" claim if leveling was fun, and you didnt need to level multiple classes to be viable. The only thing that turned me and many others away from FFXI was the horrendous level grind and forced grouping to do it. I guarantee that will turn more people away from a game than the ability for your friends to power level you through the most boring part of the game.

You have a very special and unique view of what makes a MMO fun and rewarding. Stay classy.

I dont find grinding for hours/days/months on end on the same content for 7 classes fun or rewarding

Funny, considering every MMO out today you grind on the same reskinned content.

Which is one of the biggest issues in MMOs to date, which is why the trend in every MMO is to make leveling faster and easier.

Yet having all classes at 50 and repeating the same 2 boss fights over and over is rewarding to you?

Why do you play? lol

more rewarding than level grinding the same mobs over and over. I play for many reasons and have been doing it with no breaks since beta.
