Ok Issac lets see some data not just your opinion, list 1 game that went to shit due to power leveling? Here ill name 3 that are doing great with Power-leveling as an option: World of warcraft burning crusade, lich king, cata.... lol i know this is not Wow... but wow has crazy powerleveling that costs real money.. and its doing fine, and has been for years. So my challenge to you ISSAC and co. list 1 Triple A game that went to shit due to power leveling. Yeah you can't can you?


Yoshi there are a few reasons you are seeing alot of people playing again, Mob lv change, Power leveling as an option now, repair changes, chocobos, glowy ifrit weapons/awesome fight. Don't take away any of these... lets keep ffxiv's population building... which is the whole point of rebuild"

Once again he did not want people to get 500-1k for someone killing a high level mob it's broken and there a lot of people who don't want it. The reason anyone want to get 50 is due to all the nice stuff at the end they got 50 do it and then quit and then what? before it took less then 2week to get 50 being casual about 1month and half that no where as bad. Even in wow if someone run you in dungeon you don't get full EXP for them killing the mob so please it's not about opinion it's about fact that this type of powerlevel would kill the game.

You know why he won't be able to name them? Cause developers are typically not dumb enough to create a method where someone can reach the cap in a matter of hours, particularly as early in the life of the game as FFXIV is. It might be possible to get there pretty fast in WoW now, but it's an extremely well established, old game, with a huge majority of casual players. The situations are very different.

Now I'll ask you a question. List 1 MMO period with power leveling as extreme as is possible in XIV now. WoW's is not.

City of Heroes.

City of Heroes.

QFT

and IMO City of Heroes also has the best experience point / leveling system in an MMO I have ever played.

can't even call that a real MMO just saying.

[Sun-Runner]

can't even call that a real MMO just saying.

It is Massive, Multiplayer and Online. It has a leveling progression from initial to max level, it has equipment, it has powers/abilities/spells, it has a virtual world, it has signature characters, it has its' own comic books, it has its' own music ... people pay to play it (unlike this game).

Define "MMO" as you are using it. C'mon. I won't laugh. Much. Probably. I will poke holes in it.
