Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Tempast]

So if I understand what you are saying Tempast, it's not that a player can reach level cap in FFXIV in less than a 50 hours, it's that they can do it without actually playing FFXIV.

Please let me know if I have misunderstood you.

That's exactly my point. I personally enjoy xp parties, and wouldn't mind taking the greater portion of a year to reach max level, but most people hate that.

So a fast leveling experience is to be expected. But to have one person kill stuff while 7 people are afk for 3 hours to gain 10-15 levels.. this should not be possible.
