Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

[Nanaya]

At this point, the post count speaks for itself, we just need to keep it in most popular until the devs get back from their weekend of making it hail from the tens of dollars they've made off of this game.

We've been sitting at 79 "thumbs-up" in the OP for a while now. I want to see it breach 100 by Monday. This really is a serious issue and it stands a better chance at being fixed if we all stand firm and work together. If you agree and haven't pressed that little button yet, please do so now, and voice your opinions loud and clear.

Quick edit:
Holy crap, it worked! Whoever pushed it to 80, thank you. =]

A level 1 can sit there while a 50 kill everything let's say a conj the person can get 1-30 within 1-2hours. then get 38 go to the stronghold do noting and get 38-45 then at 45+ fight and then get 50 this could easy take less then 3days or even 1days for a hardcore player. Btw the person could go to sleep and /sleep while the 50 kill for him all day.

Don't say no one going to do it when i seeing over 10+ people every day now powerlevel ppl from 1-50. It's broken it must be taken care off.

you should never get 1-50 mad quick even yoshi-p said that people should at least take 3half months to get there first high level.

It's not broken. They just want to push us uncapped 50 people down to make it harder to get to 50 while they're sitting at the top. All I'm saying is, it's just a method of power leveling and at the same time the lowbie players can still fight. 15 level difference is not that big a of a deal. If that was taken out, then there wouldn't be power leveling.

I already see where this is going. This thread is going to eventually convince the devs, but I hope they're mindful who are the actual real players posting on here. It might be my assumption, but this sort of crap happens with pretty much any subject willing to nerf something just because something is likable. I say this because of the strong experience of nerf attacks that were made in the past of XI to make the jobs "ballanced" just so no one get's jealous.

If it does happen, all that I ask is just put an appropriate gap level for exp chains. Can we at least agree to that?

....what?

I'm one of the most vocal people about this and my highest class is 38. And I've stopped leveling as of this patch because if it stays this way I'm not coming back. So again, wtf are you talking about?

I have been playing this game since release. I have trudged through it all with a smile on my face. I have led a LS, though I sucked at it, through grinding, NMs, and leve-linking. And now I begin on another server, enjoying everything for the most part, but this powerleveling issue is simply unacceptable. Sure, this is a forum, and anyone can say what they like.

But I'm not lying about how long I've been playing this game. I made our (now dead) linkshell's website from scratch after Open beta.

So if you want to knock at my credibility as a genuinely concerned long-time player and fan of Final Fantasy in general, have at it, because I know otherwise.

Have you tested this do you know for a fact that 1-50 is possible in a day? Have you been to the stronghold i havent...but i have faught around higher level aggressive mobs and i heard spawn rates are crazy in there.... you bring a low lvl into there and prepare to agro and prepare to die that is all.

1-50 in 24 hours lets break it down ...

I work 9-5 mon-fri i get home do my stuff eat dinner shower etc, get on around 6-7 play untill 11-12 5 hours avg. Now i know out of this 5 hours of play time i will only be really playing for 3hours in between afk, breaks, doing nothing,hanging out in uldah, chatting etc, so lets say i spend 3 hours lvling each day If 1-50 was possible in 24 hours that would litteraly take me 8 days to get a max lvl....i really dont mind this as i know i wont be just leveling 1 class for 8 days straight...and i could not play this game and kill mobs for 24 hours straight...i would shoot myself....weekends may increase lvling time but not by much.

We're talking about the number of actual hours it takes, not how long it will take you based on how many hours of free time you have in a day.

And besides, if the kind numbers multiple people have reported are true, it could take as little as 8 hours.
