Do you remember when...

Getting banned because of it?

No, AFTER they fixed the power-leveling version of it, the best way to get skill points on mages was cure spam, in this case AoE healing because it gave more chances to heal(each person could give skill points)

The power-leveling version was basically be a cluster of mages all spamming AoE cures for a couple hours then they were all 50. It was later nerfed but healing was still the best way to level mages

Sounds a bit odd, but it reminded me of the very first time I played FFXI. I was playing a Thief and my friend was some kind of healer/buffer class (dunno which one it was). Whilst i fought stuff he just kept healing and buffing me, when I asked what he was doing he just went "powerleveling". Dunno if he meant me or him though... either way it made the fights boring.
