petition to make leveling optional (ex. auto-50)

[Preypacer]

And isn't this the same team that nerfed the Leve exploit a few months back?

The bottom line is that PLing is an exploit (granted, it was dev team approved - and we called that this would happen before the patch) that is being taken advantage of. Just like with the GL exploit there are people who are all for it, because they want to take the easy route to 50 (as if there was anything at the end of that tunnel). These people don't care about balance, or the economy of the game. They don't care about whether or not crafters have any reason to make them gear. They just want everything NOW.

I've been playing this game for a year. I played at my own pace (roughly 5-10 hours a week when active). I got my first Level 50 last night in a grind party (not a PL party). I will say that I had a lot of fun on this long road that I chose to take. Leveling from 1-50 is possible without shortcuts, and the focus should be on making that leveling experience a good one, by providing content for everyone along the way (the new Lv15 dungeon is a good step in that direction, but the PLing issue undermines the inclusion of that content at all) - not letting people skip that part of the game all together.



I think that the response to this thread proves our point.

Err... I'm not sure what you're getting at in your post? Are you agreeing with me? Disagreeing with me? Expanding on what I said? lol.. I'm a bit confused.

I'm against the PL'ing - especially to this degree - in any MMO, FFXIV or otherwise. I am not a fan of it and hope they do patch it up... sooner than later. I mean, being helped along if you're having a rough time of a couple levels or whatever is one thing.. but PL'ing 1-50 in a day.. or hell.. even a week.. is ridiculous.

That's awesome that you dinged 50 by actually playing. And grats on 50 btw .

I was attempting to expand on what you had said, and giving my two cents.

Also, thanks!

So you assert something that you have no way of knowing, nor proving... Yet assume it to be true, and proceed to call people hypocrites anyway...

Weeee quick on jumping the gun there...

I threw out a stupid estimate, but the point still stands. When the OP gets overwhelmingly negative feedback, and the thread that points out that somebody leveled to 50 in one day (and that PLing should be fixed, or removed) gets overwhelmingly negative feedback, I think it's fair to assume that there is some cross over there. Also the only people who would be offended by my previous statement should be the people that it applies to. In which case they're hypocrites. I am just basing this on what I read in both threads. I don't really care if my 70% estimate is really 50%, or 10%.

I was hoping i would get a bunch of ppl to rage against the idea, devs would notice, and they'd patch the game (since they seem to completely ignore the powerleveling threads)

No, you attention w****, everyone is raging against you. Hooray, you got the attention you wanted!

[FallenRaine]

yes... this is a stupid idea. that was the point.
right now you can essentially get powerleveled to 50 in a day.
that is a problem

No I'm more than certain you thought it was an awesome idea until everyone raged on you. Don't act like it was all part of Your big convoluted Scheme to get the Devs to take PL out of the game just makes you look /facepalm

The Idea had died in your last forum page and ppl didnt like it. if you were against the idea you would have left it there and not made a new thread about it. Since it died off the devs wouldnt have seen it anyway. Which would give you no reason to bring it up unless you supported it fully.

You had an idea and many many ppl didnt agree with you... pick yourself up and try again later lol dont try to switch sides

hehe I know right!

...and lol @ the people that thought Azury was trying to be clever—Azury is... how should I put it? "Limited"? Azury has a history of creating threads that are just ridiculous over at FFXIV Core and here on The Lode. Most of us can see through his crap.

Why would someone who has spent a long ammount of time compiling guides on how to level support skipping the entire game? The sheer audacity of anyone wanting it at all is silly enough...but come on really?

I dont know man ask yourself.. Do you post something unless you back it 100%?

In the words of wiseman
Leveling is the epitome of an mmorpg.
