Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Eekiki]

not saying anything about them being there, just that SE now is letting make more money/ spreading out the virus of PL even further, hell people have already started to shout for power levels all over ul'dah. Good job SE people can now just buy from RMT even if they are new and just instant get 1-50 with no effort.

this is so retarded its not even funny, i can't believe people still defend this. SE should just re-roll servers to 1.19 release and get rid of this crap. Leveling has no purpose whatsoever anymore, I don't even blame people abusing it I blame SE for allowing it to happen specially after so many post we already have.

even for crafters there is no value for gear low levels because everyone is just skipping to 45+.
I could go on further but I am literally tired of explaining this like some other people who could/ and have made it clear.

SE GET YOUR ASS IN LINE AND GET RID OF THIS CRAP ASAP IT IS BROKEN AS HELL AND IT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN ANY WAY, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU DO OR NOT DO IT ITS A DOMINO EFFECT IT EFFECTS THE ENTIRE GAME.

if people liek to hit 50 and not play the game, please stop playing mmorpg/ get a private server or play single player game with cheat codes, this is like playing a multiplayer game with cheat codes while others are playing legit.

I don't know you or your dietary habits, but I'm going to suggest you cut back on your caffeine intake.

Those "only 10 levels" are actually half the XP for all of 1-50. Yeah it's faster than it was before, but that has nothing to do with powerleveling per se. I think that part of the argument really comes down to a question of the amount of the link bonuses in particular, which is probably best discussed in a separate thread.

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.

It's seem there a lot of people also using the stronghold to powerlevel you can get a 20 there and they can get loads of EXP. SO i hope powerlevel get nerf along with the stronghold for anyone below 45.

I understand your concern but annoying the community and spamming the forums isn't going win favor with anybody.

I know for a fact that the mods agree with me seeing as they have locked the other threads. So they obviously have a problem with people creating useless threads like your "following" has.

Boom Roasted.

The current system is fine. That is all.

The fact that every one that was locked, was locked with a note saying "You've been heard, we understand, and have forwarded your concerns." or some variation of that, proves they weren't useless, and actually achieved the goal of those who made them.

How childish can you get? Did you even read the GM's response at the end of each thread?

Forum outcry has been noted, and SE has been informed. Regardless of whether you think the system is fine, SE knows that we disagree!

Heres a post from Oct. 6th by Reinhart, expert translator:

Another one is regarding PL although they are ok with the PL system they agree it's bit too much it defeats YoshiP's goal of being capped with 1 class over 2-3 month. No one expected it to be where you can PL and get 50 in 1-2 week lol.

So yeah, while they are ok, they wanted it so someone could be helped or level themselves from 1 to 50 in 2 months at the least. His vision wasnt something like this, so im 99% sure adjustments are coming very soon...in either 1.19a or even a b if necessary.

JP Side does talk about solo being much harder and SE probably wants them to start partying, but overall they are trying to adapt to it as fast as possible. I posted on my thread also but they do talk about the queue problem where it's being a problem for some when you can't stack actions but game still lets you press enter on action and the target disappears making it hard to get used to the timing. Also they do talk about leve's being bit too hard for solo specially the GC one with level 30 because of the amount of mob/links you get.

Another one is regarding PL although they are ok with the PL system they agree it's bit too much it defeats YoshiP's goal of being capped with 1 class over 2-3 month. No one expected it to be where you can PL and get 50 in 1-2 week lol.

Personally I'm solo/duo player and I did pretty bad with the first mob I tested on my Pug50, tried level 56 eft and almost died since I was fighting just like I used to not knowing the cure rate sucks compared to how much HP I have now lol But reading what YoshiP said about materia, and looking at the JP materia thread (talking about which materias give what stats, and them testing putting 2 IV materias on NQ/HQ gears and stuff) it seems like if you do it right you can pretty much solo without any problem imo. Just need to get used to the new system.

Tit for tat buddy, childish response for childish response. My first post was valid and your response to my post was not.

Sorry I was simply asking people to stop making useless threads and you try saying that GM's would have locked it if it was a problem. It obviously was a problem otherwise they wouldn't have locked it. I did read the GM's post: Paraphrased "Stop making the same thread over and over, we saw your first post, we see your opinion and again stop making new threads".

Wrong, It shows that it was against forum policy and stupid to do so, nice try though.
