If it's the latter, then I agree.. people became *far* too dependent on PL's in that game. Having PL became a crutch to people and I encountered people who literally couldn't function without one. Was sad to see.

If you mean it was literally impossible to xp without a PL in that you *needed* one to level through the low-mid levels... then I'd have to say that's 100% wrong lol. You could level - at any level range - in XI without a PL. Plenty of people did it plenty of times before the whole PL thing caught on 'cause people became too impatient to level alt jobs up without one.
That the issue i was partying with 8 people from 21-27 and within a hour the 21 got 25. everyone was level every 30min it was crazy with the expchain and this is without powerlevel now if i got 19-29 with a full party within 2hours or less now think of that with a powerlevel? i had to /tell many powerlevel to go somewhere else because we partying here about 100% of them where nice said i'm sorry and left. Even was JP person powerlevel his friend it starting to become a main steam thing and less people going to do party.

They need to fix the exp for partying and take off Powerleveling it's becoming a main steam thing now with PL and don't get me starting with the RMT saw 7 low level powerlevel by 1 50 and all there names where

dfkajad - adlkfj
adlfkj - aldkjf

and so on and even there linkshell was aldkfja
