    It was one of the reasons in XI when a class had shit evasion like pld who could dodge a lot of attacks vs a mob who is like lvl 60 but if a class who has good evasion and they was lower Lvl than the pld but had the same evasion number as the 75 pld they would dodge less even tho the numbers was the same this is what Dlvl does it gives you slight edge vs lower lvl players/mobs but it should be to this extreme fashion in XIV.
    Doesn't excuse it as being a lazy way to do things. It could be done a lot better. Like having stats matter instead of solely difference in level. Because of this defense is pretty much useless.

    Did you not read it's not lazy its present in every rpg's it part of formulas... Only thing they need to do is just use less of it and let stats do it's job and no one is defending i hate dlvl when it's used this bad. another game its used poorly would be borderlands if your lvl 10 trying to fight a lvl 15 monster your gonna loose no matter what. XI used it correctly and they can do the same here 80% of the ppl who play rpg's are not even aware of this thing cause most of the time is balanced right.
