Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Dokuton-Razortaru]

same 5 people crying about this, and 150 others saying how they don't mind it.

Zenaku and Issac are 50% of the posts on this thread. (Exaggeration) but still lol.

Almost everything on this thread is "hey i don't mind the PL how it is" (random dewdt)

Zenaku or Iassac "Well its going to ruin the game because... well because i just feel it inside my heart of hearts"(even though i can give no solid evidence that PLing destroys games)

Wow's had PL system for years, 300% bonus exp on mobs and quests is just as broken as this, the only difference is in wow you don't need to have friends, and it costs a lot of money.

And how has wow been doing these all these years? Great. Yeah its not a perfect game but it holds the majority of players and i don't see them getting rid of their "pay for powerlevel service"

And one more thing... Issac and co.... who do you think is getting power leveled? i would say majority of them are end-game minded people who want to tackle end game when its released (already is Ifrit). And there is no competition for anything endgame atm.. so it doesn't threaten you.

I could see you crying if there was HNM that are world pops that you've been camping for 3 months trying to get a defenders ring or w/e, and this would decrease your chances of getting said items from the influx of high level players, but there is nothing like that right now.

Hitting max level used to be a huge thing in FFXI, and in other games but now games start at max level. Its all about gear and tackling hard content with friends and showing that off in town.

Do you even know why a leveling system is there? Its to slow down players from getting to late game (all to keep you playing longer and buying developers time to develop more content), and also so you learn you classes mechanics so you can play them properly. But with current day gamers most of us know how to play these classes already because we all were playing similar roles since we were 12.

106 likes != 5 people

I haven't made a count, but so far it seems 50/50 on the opinions.

Edit;

Zenaku and Issac are 50% of the posts on this thread. (Exaggeration) but still lol.

Pretty big exaggeration. There are nearly 700 posts in this thread. I have made 69 including this one.

What's a bit amusing is Zen has also made 69.

So, 138 posts. I think that's pretty reasonable for a thread with ~700 posts from two people who feel strongly about the issue.

Oh yeah, and you're forgetting about Travesty. While the three of us have been the most vocal, we have not been the only ones.

You must have skimmed seeing how theres allot more then isaac and zen who are saying plvling needs to be gone and is broken.

Try reading the post I was responding to if you want to understand why I'd say that in the first place. Once again, use that noggin. It'll all come to you if you just think.
This is not a difficult concept.

Not to mention with PLing a lot of players will reach r50 without even knowing how to play half their roles in battle, which skills to use in determined situations or even how each works.

LOL wow amazing thing to see when people are too lazy to play a video game, I still don't understand why you guys play a MMORPG= massive multiplayer online role playing game if you do not want to play it obviously.

lazy players like the ones defending this are the same ones that want:

this is real sad when people just want a "i win" button added to a game.

heck lets just:

1)pay for a movie ticket and go in and watch the credits of the movie
2) start up any sports team and just tell the other team that you win
3)lets just open a book and skip to the last sentence and say you read the book.

i can go on and on with this. PL i don't mind as much if they stay out of the party similar to ff11 where they only heal you and thats it, its bad but its not as bad as this game where a max level guy just stomps all over the game and you just sit on your ass and gain massive.....let me change that word enormous/game breaking amount of xp.

example:
5 of my linkshell members already hit 3 class to 50 within 2-3 days of power level 1-40 and 40-50 on raptor party. And this goes on for a lot of people around the server i know personally.

when you guys are all level 50 with every single class i would like to as you what will you be spending your tme on then? because apparently you guys want to do some "endgame content".

Btw: sooner or later it will affect crafters as well. Who needs gear for a PL? ^.^/

Gear still doesn't matter, hate to break it to you.

I think that's his point.

And since the patch 1.19, yes it does.
