Yes, it's true. After all, games ARE always programmed correctly the first time, every time, with no unintended consequences that are brought to light by the community. Touché.The game being programmed like this on purpose is considered cheating? Who would have ever thought!? It is not an exploit, it is not a computer bot leveling your character up for you, so please do explain to me how it is cheating? Oh wait you just can't, too bad so sad.
You don't read do you? it's a Exploit because you getting more EXP then you should by killing high mobs for a low level. You should be getting less for someone killing a 30 but no you getting 500-1k with exp chain that how it become a Exploit and top of that should not allow this type of powerleveling.The game being programmed like this on purpose is considered cheating? Who would have ever thought!? It is not an exploit, it is not a computer bot leveling your character up for you, so please do explain to me how it is cheating? Oh wait you just can't, too bad so sad.
And it seem a like think the same about this issue that what the forums are for to ask for stuff and also tell them to take stuff out.

I agree... you should not be able to power-level. It's gonna come back to bite SE in the ass big-time down the road if they don't address it. This game is *far* too early into its lifetime and has *far* too little content for people to be able to burn through all the levels that quickly.Okay, this seriously needs to be fixed immediately.
Now, before you all say, "Oh come on dude, why you gotta crap on something so awesome," honestly think about it. The consequences will be a domino effect that just might force SE to do a server rollback.
Here's an example: I just got 25,000EXP in less than five minutes. From level 24 to 25 with a friend killing and chaining crabs for me in my party.
The above is far far too extreme. Given these possibilities, and even more if she killed something at a higher level, everyone will exploit the crap out of this and no one will have a job below level 40 within a month. Do we really want this? Do we want to make the journey to cap so utterly pointless?
I'm really concerned for the future of this game if this is what SE intended in this patch! This is bad, really bad. Please, SE, let's get an emergency maintenance and fix this before it is too late!
That said.. I do find it ironic that you post this after being PL'd lol...
Yoshi questioned what would be considered PL'ing in his live Q&A... I'd say 25k in under 5 minutes would certainly qualify lol.
Somebody call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMBULANCE please!!! GM needs to shut down this idiotic thread already. End of story.
Sorry but the OP is bullsh*t......
The game needs more content, but in the mean time I cant convince friends to play this game for free to get to content like Darkhold or Ifrit. Why? Because there is not enough motivation to level up. This game needs serious help in the form of bodies. If this will help make leveling less of a grind, then I think it could go a long way towards getting people to try the game beyond a week. Besides there are still other forms of progression: materia, jobs, ability quests, guild marks. I think it should stay the way it is now. Is it fair? Nope, but life isnt fair. I do know this though, if I can convince friends to play you better believe that I will be PLing them like mad!!
Got power leveled yesterday for like 3-4 levels in 2 hours, it was a beauty!
@Crica: Maybe you did not understand me if there a easy way to level no one going to do it the old way due to the fact that the broken PL is better. The people who are not doing it would then at the end have to do it due to the fact that most of there friends are and they would be level up slow. It become something of main steam just to get a PL and not even do anything to get 50.
@EmeraldHill: Let me start by i can care less about the casual getting 50 but getting 50 without doing anything and everyone can have every job 50 less then what is now is broken. I play FFXI for 6years and i did dislike that you had to wait for party but once you had one it was the best thing ever. Don't get me wrong i don't want the hardmode from FFXI but i also don't want to see more of a casual then WoW This game become more easy then WoW at this point.
Yoshi-p said if you get powerlevel and killing a higher level mob you should not get a lot of EXP, but testing out the powerlevel system in many level range it seem you get the full amount of exp. You can easy get 200-1000 from exp chain and the stronghold you at 44 i was getting 1k per Mob i don't think it should be giving that much but i wont get into the stronghold the powerlevel is the issue at hand.
A game should not promote powerlevel SE could find other way of helping your friend reach your level. "Link accounts" "EXP Ring" Or even make it so we could powerlevel someone by just healing there party they still fighting mobs and learning but at the end there no downtime and it's not like now that your friend can go AFK and /follow and he can come back in few hours 1-25+.
If you people think this is ok then i can't believe how players have become this is not even about hardcore/casual so please don't put that in this topic when we not even talking about that all you doing is trying to find a reason to shut down the topic by calling us troll.
@Dargoth_Draconia: You dislike the topic? you think it's a idiotic thread it's funny when it's really a idiotic thread everyone jump in talk about it and likes it. But when it a real issue people go and jump on it troll dislike it and try to close it down by any means. You dislike this topic right? don't post on it and leave it alone and let everyone else have a conversation about a very important issue of a broken system.
Beside trying to troll the topic come up with why it should stay and why you think it not broken but i guess that too much for you people to handle and i can't believe you can't have a conversation without someone being a little kid about it -.-
@Amsai: Like i said there other way you could do it "link account " "Exp ring" powerleveling his power by just healing not killing it for him and he goes to sleep and come back 30 within a few hours. it's not right and should not stay if people don't even want to level up so they can feel good that they reach the end of 50 then they should play something else. They most be a time sink and a grind in a game if not then just take level out of the picture.

I can't wait till they fix it (even if they do) so I can come back and see everyone complaining about it being fixed and how the EXP rate is so slow.
Deal with it. If they want to fix it, they will. If they thought it was a problem they probably wouldn't have released it like that. Also, they could've hot fixed it already.
Keep that in mind.
This is the only reason i dont think its truly broken, i tested it and was getting 1k xp chains, 650+ per mob at 38 fighting lvl 49 mobs ...while this was nice, pre patch i was getting 450 xp solo on ixali's by camp glory lvl43-49 and a bit more duo (plus alot faster duo). On top of this i was getting 4.5k+ xp per leve at 5 star with friends (Which is very hard now). Also i know at lower levels i was able to pull off 650+ xp off mobs higher than me in 1.18 and it went faster with a party.
If anything this update simply streamlined xp, yes its faster, but not much faster. You have to remember that alot of mobs are grouped now and strategicly i might add so xp will be coming in faster in general not just with a plvl....i really like overall mob placement good job dev team on that one! What happens when you finally save up 99 leves and decide to burn them all with a group? I would say your going to level up pretty quickly!
While being powerleveled i didnt really consider it being powerleveled it was more like my friend asking me if i want to go kill higher level stuff with him, its not like he 1 shot the mob, i was still tossing heals and the occasional spell i could do to the mob.

which has nothing to do with players playing a game for enjoyment and the majority enjoying the PLing that the game allows them to enjoy and a few players telling the majority to stop it...
