or: I'll stop doing endgame, switch to another class and go level with you.
This wasn't broken in ffxi, and I do not buy SE's argument about how it is impossible to determine what is help and what is exploitation. THEY stopped this madness in ffxi, and now say do not look behind the curtain. To low a mob= no exp, to high of a rank in party, gimped exp.
"Holy crap, take a friggin chill pill. If your world falls apart over something like this then maybe you shouldn't play"
Sadly, it will not be my world that will fall apart, it will be the world of ffxiv that will do to this blatant reinvent the wheel the dev team had when distributing exp. Now we just here from them, "What's a wheel?" Hardcore gamers that want a challenge and reward for time, will NEVER take this game up until this is fixed.
Let's look at it this way, when they start charging. I sign up, pay my money and level for a month. Get to level say 25. Then I notice 20 tarus standing around all day at camp, keeping pace with my rank, never moving. This is at every camp I go. I say WHAT THE HELL. Play some more, get to fifty, and now everything earned with having a level fifty char is useless, because guess what there are 100 other level 50's, for every real adventurer, that did nothing to achieve that level. Go look up the word level.
THIS will be the DEATHNAIL of this game. No one in there right mind would pay 13 bucks a month to be on par with rmt's, lazy aholes, and cheats. Sadly, SE does not care.WHY ????
Joe schmo lasts 3 months = 39 bucks
RMT x 5 accounts 3 months+ inf. = 39 bucks(5) + (180)n . A ton more then keeping joe happy.
This world will be full of rmt's and people that tolerate laziness. I am level 50 everything. So what? My 90 year old grandma is too. This should make an interesting gamer community!!!! "Goodbye, skill, patience, endurance, everything that makes a game worthwhile, hello laziness. Just give us the money, we are the Don of RMT's. Remember that!" - SE
