Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[DNO]

this topic is stupid. How does this effect anyone? Let people level the way they want to level and you? "mind yo neck" and play the way you want.

You people always bitch about others just because you do not agree. Just play your game. and i will play it my way.

but for real tho tell me how is it gonna damage the game?

If the capacity exists for people to leap past all the lower levels in an extremely short amount of time, it damages the mechanics of the game for everyone. Lower end content is nullified. The economy goes to sh*t because no one needs low or mid level gear or items. Even if you want to level without powerleveling, it's extremely hard to do because the population of people to play with at low levels gets cut by a huge amount.

The list goes on, and there are a lot of chain reactions from the things I already listed. It's not difficult to understand why this is terrible for this kind of game.

After 1.18 i got ARC from rank 15-25 in 2 days (and i worked so it was like 4-7 hours tops)... the fast lvling has ALWAYS been there for low levels.

Stop bitching.

If they change it i will not care if they leave it i will not care why? because If you get to lvl 25 from lv 15 in 2 mins or 2 hours IT WILL NOT effect me in the least.

Play your game worry about you.

We're not talking about fast leveling for "low levels." We're talking about the ability to go from 1-50 in a day. 35-44 in 2 hours.

Acting like changes to the game that are that drastic don't affect people that don't use them is just being stupid. It affects the game as a whole, for everyone, regardless of how they play individually. I am worrying about me.

Yeah then there will be more people to do (Instanced raid) when I'm online and Ifrit... sounds like a real problem /sike.

Seriously, just close this thread. You aren't going to sell anyone who isn't already for or against it. Not everyone will be using PL'ing to level. Leveling is fast in general... 5 days, 2 days, 3 days or even 1 day what difference does it really make? You can get max pretty fast by partying or PL. This whole thread is /useless because it's only pointing out what Yoshi already accepted as a probable outcome from patch 1.19 and he deemed ok.

Your a troll if you think a lvl 50 can PL a lvl 45.. the monster would crush them.

Also your a troll if you think EVERYONE is gonna have friends to PL them from lvl 1-50.

Stop going to the extreme, think a little, breath, relax. then post.

Only Low lvls benefit from PLs in most cases.

No one was buying low lvl gear before.... So according to you the game is basically the same as before. On my server (Lindblum) There are tons of people lvling w/o pl's so i don't see the prob.

Like I said, shortsighted. The population of the game will not always be what it is now. There will be huge influxes of players, particularly at PS3 release. And just because everyone hasn't figured out you can level obscenely fast with a PL a few days after the patch, doesn't mean there's no problem with the fact that the ability to do that exists within the game.

And by the way, if you're leveling properly and aren't doing it on a high level job, the 1.19 changes make it so you have to buy low level gear now.

I'm all for allowing power leveling in some way or another, but the way it stands right now is a little over the top.

I don't think you should be able to be in a party with someone 49 levels higher than you and get XP chains pushing 1000 xp. That's a little uncalled for. At the very least lock out the chains. Personally I'd say don't let them be in the party. They can already assist the fight from outside. If they have to be aloud in the party, require the enemy killed to give XP to the highest level player to award xp to the lowest level player and put in an XP cap.

This kind of power leveling will do some serious damage to the games balance. If there is no leveling curve all other content become meaningless.

....low lv dun.. will have value for farm only.. low-mid raid will no ppl do.. even it make for xp. low lv equipment is meanless in marketing.. all system got destroy from this.. if u can pass lv 1-40 in 1 week... lol so alot raid 15 25 35 will become to trash. so what meaning of dungeon or alot hunting spot around the would will do? just end game dungeon will have value?
