no, I am stating for a fact that Yoshi-P (you know, the PRODUCER of the game) did, however, so we all can help our FRIENDS and BUDDIES catch up to us and play together with them....

Straight from Yoshi - P: Power Leveling was given by Yoshi-P to the players with his blessing! /joy!

Q: After the claiming system change in patch 1.19, I'm afraid everyone will be power leveling each other. What do you think of this?

A: It depends on what you consider power leveling. For example, if my friend and I were playing completely different games. I've already reached the level 50 cap, and then I invite my friend. Of course I want to do end game content like Ifrit with him, but I invited him, and he wants to play too, and we are really good friends so I want to help him out.

I can help him out with my level 50 character when he's being attacked by a monster. Of course it's going to lower the XP a bit, but I'd like to make it a bit loose and not too strict. I just want to make sure friends are able to help each other if they want to challenge content together by filling the gap.
Much <3, Yoshi-P, much <3!!
