Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Travesty]

This thread was only created by two reasons. Either wasn't invited to experience the advantage of exp chaining or feels the need to express getting Lv 50 is some sort of relic sign on FFXIV.

Or, you know, one of the 50 other reasons people have explained in detail in this thread.

People feel the need to complain to make the game a competition.

Wrong. People feel the need to complain when a mechanic that could break the game, and fundamentally alter it to the point of it barely even fitting the "RPG" genre, is needlessly introduced. It has nothing to do with competition. The people complaining about this don't complain about the fact that other players can level faster than them because they have more free time or a bigger linkshell, or anything else. This is not an issue of competition. It's an issue of game mechanics and balance.
