Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Issac]

We need 6 more thumbs on the OP for an even 100. I hope we can get this by Monday.

And god do I hope this is fixed.

You're so wrong you'll probably never be right on anything for the rest of your life.

I'm not even going to...
Just, lol. Weak.

Wonder if they will do a rollback from all the people going from Lv 1-10ish to Lv40 within a day... (I'd love to be doing that for my crafting) O_o

... I should do that for my cnj/thm hmmm...

I've seen people run around just equip every aoe and plow through the mass groups of low lvl stuff with 2-3+ following them around, kind of funny to watch.

[Issac]

Only two more thumbs.

Will say it again, hoping for a rep reply monday.

Killing a 35 Mob with 7 people in a party around 28-34 the 8th switch to kill a mob so we can go to our party spot. We got 450+ EXP for it without chain now guess how much we would have got with chain? So you all think this is ok? not broken when Yoshi-p himself said you wont get good exp for a high level killing high mobs for you?

Ok Issac lets see some data not just your opinion, list 1 game that went to shit due to power leveling? Here ill name 3 that are doing great with Power-leveling as an option: World of warcraft burning crusade, lich king, cata.... lol i know this is not Wow... but wow has crazy powerleveling that costs real money.. and its doing fine, and has been for years. So my challenge to you ISSAC and co. list 1 Triple A game that went to shit due to power leveling. Yeah you can't can you?


Yoshi there are a few reasons you are seeing alot of people playing again, Mob lv change, Power leveling as an option now, repair changes, chocobos, glowy ifrit weapons/awesome fight. Don't take away any of these... lets keep ffxiv's population building... which is the whole point of rebuild"

Once again he did not want people to get 500-1k for someone killing a high level mob it's broken and there a lot of people who don't want it. The reason anyone want to get 50 is due to all the nice stuff at the end they got 50 do it and then quit and then what? before it took less then 2week to get 50 being casual about 1month and half that no where as bad. Even in wow if someone run you in dungeon you don't get full EXP for them killing the mob so please it's not about opinion it's about fact that this type of powerlevel would kill the game.

You know why he won't be able to name them? Cause developers are typically not dumb enough to create a method where someone can reach the cap in a matter of hours, particularly as early in the life of the game as FFXIV is. It might be possible to get there pretty fast in WoW now, but it's an extremely well established, old game, with a huge majority of casual players. The situations are very different.

Now I'll ask you a question. List 1 MMO period with power leveling as extreme as is possible in XIV now. WoW's is not.

City of Heroes.

QFT

and IMO City of Heroes also has the best experience point / leveling system in an MMO I have ever played.
