Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Sontawila]

I didn't think of that at all, thanks. =]
But still, there's stoneskin to take the initial brunt if they really wanted to cheat that badly.

If they take away the chain/link bonus when someone helps you outside your party, I would be able to settle with that.

Who are you? Who died and made you king? Just because you and others fanatic cried your eyes out and flooded the forum with threads like this doesn't mean this "fix" was intended for you.

Greetings,

Sorry it's taken so long for us to discuss, but as I'm sure you're aware we have to wait for concrete information before we post. Foxclon and Yoshida have both posted as a response to the discussions being held here, and other region forums.

I guess this is a Start i hope the Person being powerlevel have to do something now. Sadly you can't allow powerlevel like this maybe make powerlevel like in FFXI where the person heal you.

Sadly yoshi-p matter what you do in 1.19A people would still do powerlevel over partying so i hope you do something that would make partying better then being PL or many players would quit. You said that person should take 2-3month to level by me and my friend party and got 1-40 within 1week. So i hope you fix both party and pl exp but still make it so Party exp is better then being powerlevel by a high level player.

At the end you should still take off powerlevel because ppl still would find the easy way out and you should not allow this. People should work for there own level and not ask someone else to do it for them sorry but your idea is still wrong but whatever it still a start i hope later patch would fix this issue more.

2-3month of you doing work yourself is noting like FFXI so i don't see why people want to get powerlevel. Anyways that just my view how a game should play i like at least it going to be fix for ppl being afk and i take that over anything thank you once again dev team great job.

i just hope they change the penalty when high lvls are involved instead of getting rid of the much better claiming system.
If they change the claiming system back that would be a big step back imo and take away the fun. (before you sometimes fought more mobs at a time (aggro or aoe by mistake) and just got xp for one of the mobs, that was retarded.

I don't know what is so hard about that issue (issue is more difficult to handle...): Give penalties if higher players are involved and give us lvl sync instead so ppl can play together if they are higher. This way ppl cant do powerleveling the way they are doing now.

^insert silly sob willing to pay rmt.

When you see "pst for price"(and I have) thats rmt ruining your game. I understand its not working as intended, but please close the door on rmt. Dont hold it open for them.

I'm sure(hope) you all have posted to that effect but I couldnt help myself.

ya know reading yoshi's post about they didn't forsee the extent makes me wonder........ did they test this new system at all? how is it that they put in a new system and everyone and their brother tried power leveling as soon as it came out, but none of the dev team was able to think this far in advance. it just seemed that there was no foresight nor actual testing done previous to it going live.

I dunno maybe cause every arse on these forums are rushing them so much they thought they'd have to release a patch without 'waste time' on testing?

You guys complain if they are a bit slow to release a patch, then complain when they release it and it has a few bugs. >.>

don't even start with you guys anything. i have been against this since day one which is why i catch so many rude responses in general.

i complained about the nerfing of the nm's before the new battle system was put in that made them super easy.

i complained about the removal of the old battle system and replacing it with a less finished system.

i complained about the partial crafting changes done now and the rest completed at a later point.

the problem is they put in partial changes. i would much rather them take the time to actually get the patch corrected. i don't like removal of something to put in the bare bones of another.

i have also fully supported a test server for people to be able to test the changes. if a test server was put in place previous to this patch this would be the first thing people noticed along with the fleece farming issue.

we are the test server.

Perhaps SE was naive and had faith in its community to not exploit such things.

As I say for every patch after playing myself, there's no way they tested it all, or else they probably would have found it and changed it before WE got to it. OR perhaps it was their intent on making PL'ing that easy, cept too many people complained about it.

Or... Perhaps we're really the ones doing the testing >.>?!
