Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[RemVye]

The severity of what we're seeing in game now, is not represented in those comments. If they truly intended for it to be like it is now, they wouldn't have wasted time reworking low level content.

"Re-working" low level content? You mean adding a non-instanced R15 open world dungeon? Am I missing something here?

Low level armor, weapons, materia, mobs, etc.

I don't think this is game breaking, but again I don't really care.

And this is where you and I differ apparently. I care if the game goes to sh*t because of a ridiculous leveling exploit. Shame on me.

I care if the game goes to sh*t

How exactly is the game gonna go to Shizta when someone other then you is playing with their buddies and catching up to them so they can play in the same content together???

you are acting like they should have joined the game to be able to play with YOU...

newsflash, they wouldn't have even joined the game if they could not catch up to their buddies and play in the same content with them...

YOU have nothing to do with why they are playing or not...

perhaps you should find your own friends to play with and worry about how you and them are gonna play together instead of how players who are not your friends are playing without you?

How many times do I and other people have to explain why this breaks the core mechanics and balance of the game for everyone? Seriously? How many times?

They didn't design materia strictly for low level gear, and what gear isn't out-dated from 1.18. I'm pretty sure it was technical reasons that they had to develop entire new armor so that materia could be bound to it. 1 - 20 is supposed to be fast... and 35-50 is just as fast... if anything you should complain that 35-50 is too fast not that people are powerleveling low levels.

Wow, you really need to read what I've been saying. I'm not complaining strictly about people powerleveling low levels lol. I've actually cited someone going from 35-44 in 2 hours as an example of the problem.

as long as you don't have to do it, what the heck is your problem??

not everyone is gonna do it, you are a shining example of that fact...

so go play with the players who are not gonna do it and leave us players who are alone...

or we gonna poke you with really big PL sticks... k?

I may even use Yoshi-P's PL stick.... and it has this new-fangled electro-choco zapper on it... leaves a nasty wark! on the brain!

For the 1000x, because the fact that the ability to do it exists within the game, causes negative effects for everyone. The counter points to everything you just said have been logically explained in this thread a dozen times already.

for the 1000x we are telling you that it will NOT happen and if it does SE will gimp it. So get over it.

Just because you THINK it will happen then that makes you right? You could be 100% wrong dude.

Look at my sig. this is all the things people like you bitch about and it came and passed with no bad effect. Every patch trolls bitch about everything then 2 weeks later everyone gets use to it and its fine.

Same thing will happen now (in fact i will add this to my list)
