Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Noata]

This is stupid, While your at it make them wear your favorite color. What a player does with there time on the game is there own business and should not be policed by another player. where people get the idea they have any right to police everyone else is beyond me. It is a game with levels, some will get it through quests some grinding, how or how long or how simple they behave to reach there own personal goals is there own business and not for you to decide. This game has requirements that are level based, naturally some people will want to get these benefits fast. What most people fail to realize is that power leveling dosnt take away from the game and the entire idea of stopping power leveling is an insult. the amount of XP it takes to level is set in stone. if it takes X experience to get to lvl Y, then how a player reaches it is to each his own. Trying to stop power lvling is like ordering all players to stop soloing content. Just enjoy the game, accept that everyone has a right to play the game.

You do realize you help keeping this thread alive by repeatedly telling people to stop posting here?

The Devs need to address this properly. PL makes lv 1-40 pointless. At this rate they should just start everyone off with a lv 40 character.

I'm actually happy this thread is still going. The last attempted fix for PLing was highly deficient.

We need a system that only gives you XP if you directly engage in battle in some way.

I was just looking at how some of the Japanese topics take one topic and continue to post / append post.

It seems like the power levelers that I've come across while in a full party couldn't be reasoned with to share or find another spot either. As crazy as it might seem to necro bump a topic that's a month old, it really does beat creating a whole new topic about an ongoing concern.

There is anecdotal evidence that the current power-leveling mechanism for gaining XP is detrimental to the Light & Full Party mechanisms for gaining XP. Producer/Director Yoshida can achieve the same effect that he wants, without the negative effect to Light & Full parties, by simply implementing a Level Sync system.

As long as gaining XP via power-leveling remains the most time effective means of gaining XP, systems like Light Party bonus, Full Party Bonus, even the party search system ... are pointless.

My question to Producer/Director Yoshida is, "Why build a system of balanced XP-gaining mechanisms, then allow another mechanism to completely bypass that same system?"

Personally, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I very much agree with Sorel and Kiote here. I understand the current claiming system but it bypasses the entire balance of character progression as well. I've made suggestions to how the current claiming system could remain as I do like the claiming system. I just don't like how the rewards can be exploited.

I also prefer that old threads be necrobumped rather than new threads be made. As the game changes old concepts deserve to be looked at again since the context they can be used in has changed and is worthy of discussion.

A surefire way to get this thread nuked would be to have a group of posters strategically derail the topic while prodding posters into making personal attacks. As long as there are enough people willing to have a civilized discussion on the topic at hand then detractors will just get censored from the thread rather than it being nuked outright.

Also, blatant non constructive necrobumping will get it nuked as well. If you're going to necrobump a thread make sure that the response is thorough enough to be considered legitimate.

I know a surefire way to get this thread nuked!
