Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[EmeraldHill]

Not really if new players join and they can't find a party how would they get level up soloing? or pay for powerlevel? you can't have a game from start be a powerlevel fest maybe 5-8 years down the road. You could add EXP rings, other means of leveling up that does not make players sit there afk do noting and get max level. For that why don't they just give us 1 free max level from day 1.

Paying for PL? The community here is far too nice for that. LS's eat up new players and nurse them into strong flapperbooters.

When there is an actual influx of new players then people will have more players to party with. Right now, the game is still in "FFXIV? THAT GAME SUX LOL" status with the majority of the gamerbase. Add that in with the game not having any official means of digital download and you have a low new player influx.

Leveling should be long enough to learn your class but short enough as to now overstay it's welcome.
