Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Vahzl]

Ignoring the fact that XI went downhill since level sync, I want to point out a flaw in your logic.

Sure, there were a few ways to increase xp/hr on SOME party configurations. I won't even call it an exploit for the sake of argument. However, in this situation, you can take ANY level 50 player and powerlevel a full group of ANY class. It is completely and utterly broken, there's simply no arguing that.

You could replace up to 3 members at a time with any class, and still have the same effect.

I bet the OP is busy abusing this as we speak just in case they do nerf it.

Did you know that you were the fourth person to say something along these lines? If you're trolling, jesus you need a new muse because your creativity sucks. If you're serious? Learn to read.

Actually I did read your post even though it hurt my eyes a bit, and you clearly stated you had ALREADY abused the powerlevelling before even post it! And no I did not read the 20 or so pages afterwards ^^

Have fun levelling while you can, its a game

I don't know why I even gather the effort anymore...

Anyone like nested quotes? I sure don't! But here are some anyway!

Quick somebody call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMBULANCE again.

Don't abuse the system if you are going to complain about it you hypocrite.

Put some actual effort into reading before slinging insults like that.

I don't want to, that was a test. And the fact that it's this easy is disgusting. It can't stay like this.

You obviously didn't read my next post. Or was it the third? Doesn't matter. Someone else had already said this, and I already responded. For your benefit, I'll say it again. Don't assume I'm a hypocrite.

An LSmate and I simply tested it because we noticed ridiculous XP gains without even trying. So we put it to the test and tried to see just how ridiculous powerleveling was. Do I plan on doing this regularly? No. Do I plan to be complacent with it? Hell no. I mean, come on, chains when a member in your party is 25-30 levels above the mob? This is silly.

Not everyone would go and abuse it, the fact is i dislike it myself. When i play wow for 2 month my friend run me and got me awesome item i thought it was bull. Sorry but most people are Abusing does not mean that the op is doing that also.

Powerlevel most be nerf it's not fun and getting fast level without doing noting i don't think that was part of SE plan,.

I'm not strongly against power levelling, but this idea that people can't complain about PLing because they're only going to go power level anyway isn't fair. The fact that PLing exists means that if you don't do it, you're going to get behind and you won't be able to access higher level content as quickly as others - even if you are "learning your job".

Basically, the fact that PLing is not only possible but freely accessible means that playing the game "as it should be played" i.e. not power levelling, doesn't actually reward you at all. Unless you just want the challenge, that is. And I think the majority of players will be forced to level normally anyway, not even mentioning the fact that PLing must get boring as hell (for both the PLer and the PL'ed).

I dunno. I find this new system silly. At least in FFXI (before Abyssea) PLing was merely having someone heal your party - it was just a welcome boost and you still had to beat the monsters yourselves - albeit with a safety net.

i agree powerlevel should only be a healer outside the party still killing the mob but there no downtime but this way ppl just killing it for you and you doing jack s***

In fact, no, I've changed my mind. This new system of power levelling is ridiculous. I haven't tried it yet, I'm not a high-level FFXIV player, so please do excuse me if I'm mistaken, but just reading how it works is-...

EXPERIENCE. Points.

What more do I have to say?

This is becoming less a game than a race to the top level by exploiting game mechanics... I can't even call it an exploit, it's just how the game works!

it's a exploit when SE said you should not get EXP for killing a rank 30 mob as a level 15. Right now i can kill a 30+mob and the level 15 would get over 500+exp and more with exp chain.
