Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Chardrizard]

You shouldn't be able to power level at all. idk why there are not penalties for players not close in level leveling each other. Those 35 levels you just blew by were suppose to have key points where you actually learned how you class worked and strategy on how to work by yourself and with a group of the same level. what was the dunes in xi but the point it time where people figured out how to actually use their job?

I agree that PL shouldnt exist but i stopped reading when you tells me beating up crabs helps u learn how to do HNMs, i'm sorry nobody learn those while grinding of crabs and crawler.

o.o i learn how to play within a party how to do my role as a samurai. When i got to Sky my first endgame was Kirin you learn a great lot from Partying. What type of spell does what and how to avoid them like Sleep and where you stand and how you do your role. You grow and fight diff type of mob which most HNM have the same type of JA,WS,Spell or even the same look just HNM type.


So saying you don't learn from partying is wrong. Person who only"ONLY" solo would not know how to really work with others and do there job as a group.

I will agree to certain extent that party does help in some area like healers would be better when it comes to healing in group, melees learns to avoid conal moves or moving away from mages etc. But if everyone was so already great in skill after a ling grinding, no one would wipe in darkhold.. That was my point, endgame mechanic and basic mechanic are entirely different in XIV and you learn those from experiencing the dungeon firsthand and not from grinding.

ANY mob, be it a crab or a damn marmot, if it is the right level to totally trash the group if you don't know how to kill it fast requires skill and you learn skill by being in a party that defeats them. I see how you could think that a group taking down a mob who is strong enough to wipe the team is someone slips doesn't require skill.

I also feel the raptor parties need to die a painful death and there needs to be rewards for going after big mobs in parties
