a regular gind party 30+ is way faster than any PL party if the people have a clue of what a healer does and when to attack the mobs. and yeah there mages who will nuke before before they even bother healing you then cry this party sucks.

i managed to get THM from 39-50 in a few of hours, and LNC from 41-49 in no time this weekend REASON no PL'ing just great people who wanted XP and knew what was going on, check the lodestone profile.

SQUARE ENIX needs to abolish the ablity to attack monster outside the party and add aliances from ffxi if you need more people or even bring back 15 man partys.
you are correct on part of your post.

yes, powerleveling creates the exact type of rejects that have no clue of what they are doing. i just kick them from my party and blacklist them. they are not worth my time.

powerleveling is still more effective than grind parties though even 40+. it is faster sp and they can still sit on their stupid chocobo and not lift a finger all the way til 50.

the problem isn't that it is available to me. the problem with powerleveling is that is is so much more effective sp all the way til cap that it defeats the purpose of getting a grind party together. it's getting to where it's hard to even farm tapers or coffers and not look up and realize half a party has switched to a 40 class and is standing around and making you do all the work for them.
