Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Rhomagus]

There is anecdotal evidence that the current power-leveling mechanism for gaining XP is detrimental to the Light & Full Party mechanisms for gaining XP. Producer/Director Yoshida can achieve the same effect that he wants, without the negative effect to Light & Full parties, by simply implementing a Level Sync system.

As long as gaining XP via power-leveling remains the most time effective means of gaining XP, systems like Light Party bonus, Full Party Bonus, even the party search system ... are pointless.

My question to Producer/Director Yoshida is, "Why build a system of balanced XP-gaining mechanisms, then allow another mechanism to completely bypass that same system?"

Personally, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm actually happy this thread is still going. The last attempted fix for PLing was highly deficient.

We need a system that only gives you XP if you directly engage in battle in some way.

I very much agree with Sorel and Kiote here. I understand the current claiming system but it bypasses the entire balance of character progression as well. I've made suggestions to how the current claiming system could remain as I do like the claiming system. I just don't like how the rewards can be exploited.

I also prefer that old threads be necrobumped rather than new threads be made. As the game changes old concepts deserve to be looked at again since the context they can be used in has changed and is worthy of discussion.

A surefire way to get this thread nuked would be to have a group of posters strategically derail the topic while prodding posters into making personal attacks. As long as there are enough people willing to have a civilized discussion on the topic at hand then detractors will just get censored from the thread rather than it being nuked outright.

Also, blatant non constructive necrobumping will get it nuked as well. If you're going to necrobump a thread make sure that the response is thorough enough to be considered legitimate.

I dislike powerleveling and I would prefer to not be involved in it although I have to admit I have both given and received it.

I would like to be able to help my friends level without actually powerleveling them or switching to a class I dislike.

Also, I would rather necrobump threads than start new ones.

I'm waiting.

I'm not getting banned for it, someone else can post porn.

I SUPPORT POWER LEVELING.

How long will we be banned?

[Treach]

72 hours according to a friend, forums only though, can still play ffxiv if you have stuff to do in it.

[Bowen]

Bah, I can't live without the forums for that long.

[Treach]

Thing is, you can still browse while banned, all it does it stop you from posting.

[Bowen]

But, I love posting things completely irrelevant to the topic.

I have no Problem with Power Leveling. In fact, I think it is a great way to help friends and Linkshell Members through tough parts of the game..

I have a problem with FFXIV Power Leveling.

There is no excuse for an Entire party standing around afk while a High Level character kills things for them. That is unacceptable. At least in every other game that has Power Leveling, the user being power leveled has to take an active role in the game. In most game the power leveler can only heal the person being power leveled or at the very least must do less over all damage to the target.
