Yeah, I'm aware of that, but it still ruins the experience of leveling up and working for it up to that point. Sure, people can do what they want with their game-time, I get that. But the problem is you still have parties 40+ hounding camping spots and getting 50 within a day.

So..if you can get from 1-36 via PL in a few hours, and then 2 days later hit 50...What exactly was the point of leveling at all? They might as well just give you all rank 50 classes at the beginning of the game and say "ok, NOW you get to learn how to play it effectively." I'm not trying to be rude, it's what I feel this game is going to turn into unless Yoshida can find an answer.
