Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Vahzl]

What amuses me more and more as these threads go on, is the amount of people who must be coming to these forums with no idea about this current power levelling option, and then going "Oh wow, gonna jump on that train before it leaves the station forever".

It is only helping to increase the amount of people doing it, but not much you can do about that now.

CHOO CHOO!

This is me, this "mistake" is the best thing that ever happened to the game.

Unlikely. They'd have to be completely blind not to realize what's happening in some of the camps and dungeons.

Or... not at all concerned with what other people are doing, as it really doesn't concern them!

And zing! Back to square one of the discussion again!

What the society you belong to is doing should be relevant to you as an individual. Unless you specifically choose to reject it.

And even if you don't notice it, subconciously it has an effect on you. The environment, along with your genes, shape you up into what you are.

FFXIV; with its own society in which you belong to.

If you can ignore it completely then good for you; however, it will have an effect on the rest of us, whether we realize it or not.

I am glad they have sad something at the very least.

A ton of people are still unfortunately abusing the hell out of this until its fixed, hell a lot more people got into it now after they "heard" it was going to get fixed so they are power rushing even more than before.

I seriously can't understand how people can whine about this getting removed and saying leveling was too hard before. Are they serious? have they played a mmorpg before this one?

What I see coming is simply that there will be EXP differences between lv.50 PL'er and the people getting leveled bad to the point you don't want the lv.50 in the party. Making it so PL can only be useful for healing and outside of party. This is quite fair, and should be executed in this fashion.

Currently right now, this isn't "Taking time to help people out.". The parties I have been in has been a "You scratch my back, I will scratch yours scenario.". Meaning, people take turns being lv.50 and PL'ing while everyone else AFKs for a period of time. This is not innovative game play, there is no learning curve. I also see content before lv.50 being pointless such as the lv.15 and 25 dungeon.

I am glad they are already aware of the issue. I am always in favor of a method of PL'ing, but in this case, this is really taking it too far. Don't embrace PL'ing, just leave the door open and look the other way. Telling people to dash through low-mid level content is okay is "not" how they should be setting this up. Hell, why even put levels in? I understand you want friends to catch up, but how many people am I going to see at 50 and not know how to play their class because they were AFK most of the leveling experience?

Like I said, it looks like everything will be adjusted, but embracing PL'ing is never a good idea.

guys, it's being adjusted SE style, why is this still being discussed?
