PL Woes

[Wincy]

I keep seeing people complain about rampant PL and I wonder if you guys are all full 50s, or have actually leveled a class/job lately...Actually it also goes into the argument about lacking content for lvls 1~40.

I am newly returned to the game (after 1.21). I'm up to 41 PLD now and having a freaking blast. I have not once PL'd, and why would I? I can level pretty insanely quickly through normal play (whether that be group grind, solo leves, or whatever). Furthermore, my leveling experience has been constantly supplemented by Main Scenario, Grand Company, Class and Job quests. I spent a little time early on in Shposhae, and did a few good runs through Toto Rak.

I do agree that there could be a little more dungeon content in the lower ranges, but there's no reason to even bother unless they SLOW DOWN leveling, cause otherwise you will just burn right past it all. Personally I hope they will separate jobs from classes, so like you unlock BRD and then level it up from 1. Hopefully AF weapons will show that they can make weapons unlinked from the base class, which will open up lots of cool possibilities for making that whole system work more smoothly!

/ramble off, back to topic...Do you seriously see so many people powerleveling? I've never done it, nobody in my LS does it (I've never heard them mention it), and in fact I don't think I've ever even SEEN somebody doing it. Sometimes it's crazy how different perceptions appear in-game as compared to the talk on the official forums.
