Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Pyretta_Blaze]

Problem that I ran into is that you take so much time to put together a party to grind and then next thing you know 50% of your party has no idea how to play and what abilities they have and you have to oust them.. now youre back to the start trying to put together a grind party again.

Like the other day 2 of the L50 mages I had in a spiritbond party had no idea wtf stoneskin is and they even admitted it "ya i power leveled to 50 and didnt pay attention to the abilities I learned AND THEN you got noobs who are wearing completely wrong gear for their job and refuse to listen to you...

and omg their gear... i thought they were just wearing that low level stuff to bond... but when I asked.. it was their actual gear..

/facepalm

Hihi Thanos, this is really Yelta posting from work :P

I agree with everything Thanos says here... And I agreed before I realized who he was.

PL should not be faster XP than getting a good group together to XP. Ideally you should be learning your role in party play. Now I agree, a bad player that was PL is still a bad Player if they level in a group, but I think a good player who leveled in a group is a better player than if they were AFK PL'ed. A good player can be taught at 50 how to do their job and what gear to wear, but if they actually participated in their XP gain they should already know this.

I will be a hypocrite here, I had to level glad to 36 and I admit I got a PL. I had no interest in glad and was told that I was REQUIRED to have sentinel for Ifrit. * But this is an entirely different problem *
