Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Issac]

As much as you like to accuse people of not reading, I don't think you actually follow your own advice. Here's what Yoshida actually said just before the patch was released:



The whole idea here is to let people use their level 50 status to help get their friends to 50 so they can join them in endgame faster. Yes, he did say the XP would be lowered, but obviously not to the extent that you seem to be claiming it should be. You've penciled in a whole lot of opinion into what you've claimed Yoshida has said about it, and it's not even close.

The intention of powerleveling is pretty clear to anyone who can read.

...
No, I think Zen is pretty spot on with the bit about people not reading the thread. People like you.
Either that, or I think you're just blatantly ignoring it.

I already addressed this in my post as well.

For something to be exploited, it would have to be used in a way that was not intended by the creator/owner. Yoshi-P is not the creator of FFXIV, but he is the person who decides if something is allowed or not in FFXIV, so he is in charge of if something is being used in a way that was not intended. IF Yoshi-P decided that the current form of PL in FFXIV is being used the way HE intended, then everyone else is free to like or not like Yoshi-P's version of PLing and then choose to PL or not, but that does not mean anyone is exploiting PLing if they choose to PL.

you should never get 1-50 mad quick even yoshi-p said that people should at least take 3half months to get there first high level.

Please note the above quote. How much direct weight are we giving what Yoshi-P says? Yoshi is the poster-child right now, and Public Relations is a tricky job. Yes he is the producer, but he is also the voice of FFXIV. That's a tough job, to speak to an angry mob on a variety of topics.

So stop using what he said in the live interview as a decree of law. Powerleveling is, in fact, outrageous and broken. It needs to be fixed.
