Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[DrekeLamorte]

Okay, this seriously needs to be fixed immediately.

Now, before you all say, "Oh come on dude, why you gotta crap on something so awesome," honestly think about it. The consequences will be a domino effect that just might force SE to do a server rollback.

Here's an example: I just got 25,000EXP in less than five minutes. From level 24 to 25 with a friend killing and chaining crabs for me in my party.

The above is far far too extreme. Given these possibilities, and even more if she killed something at a higher level, everyone will exploit the crap out of this and no one will have a job below level 40 within a month. Do we really want this? Do we want to make the journey to cap so utterly pointless?

I'm really concerned for the future of this game if this is what SE intended in this patch! This is bad, really bad. Please, SE, let's get an emergency maintenance and fix this before it is too late!

Five times now people have tried to be clever and call me a hypocrite or somesuch. Let me make it exceedingly clear that I refuse to use this now that my friend and I have tested it out. Nor do I want to be complacent with it.

This isn't a time-sink grind. I understand your concerns, but have you tried crafting or gathering? Use a manual and burn your aspect on a leve, you'll see the same results. It's not meant to be a slow, tedious solo grind. It's meant to be enjoyed at the peak, for everyone. Get on and explore the new beastmen strongholds, just because you can. Go do In-game content. Remember all those (!)'s you ignore because the rewards are so low? Well those are meant to be enjoyed, not enter-spam through and follow your journal map. Read!!!!! You could even experiment and test things with the new system and crossed-class abilities to make a build unique to you, that you WANT, not necessarily need.

Also, finish taking up all your other classes to 50. There is no main job. SE has already announced job classes. They plan on changing things even more drastically than this in the near future. Ride the tide.
