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

[Azurymber]

DISCLAIMER: This thread was a creative way of bringing up the issue of instant-leveling. While you may think its a stupid idea its actually happening -right- now with the new powerleveling system.
please see the following thread for more details: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...e.-Not-Broken.


So Rinsui had a great suggestion in my other thread
(http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...less-grind....)

I think they should offer players the choice whether they want to start at LV50 or not.

And other people seem to think the same way. I understand back in the day you had to work your way to the top and it was an adventure getting there, but it seems like the people playing FFXIV prefer choice and fun.

Therefore I propose that SE makes leveling completely optional. If you wan't to have fun you can team up and go do it. And if you don't, you can just auto-level to 50.

Many people do not find the repetitiveness of this game fun. so those people can just skip the repetitive ability-spam non-tactical leveling, and go straight to the fun endgame raids.

There should be multiple difficulty raids so people can have a challenge, but to be fair you should be able to pick any equipment you want off a list once a week or each time you finish a raid. This would ensure those just wanting to have fun wouldn't have to deal with elitism and people only trying to get good items (since is seem that is no longer important to this community).

So if you are for making leveling optional + creating choice, please like this post and post your support :]

thank you

uh, it's an MMORPG.

That's Massive Multiplayer Online -
It's designed so that you spend time so that you end up paying at least 3 months worth of subscription (whenever they implement that) if you want to get to level 50.

Role Playing Game -
Character progression and growth via fighting countless monsters, accomplishing tasks, and triumphing over adversity. This is a staple in all standard RPGs, tabletop, western, Japanese, you name it.

Your suggestion undermines that whole idea of what this game is.

Go play Guild Wars or something.


Edit: You're already 50. Why are you even suggesting this?

[Azurymber]

no... look at this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...less-grind....

Players clearly want a super fast grind or just auto-level so they can get to the endgame.

So you get angry with the response to your post (which by the way, I DID read, and save for one idiot, I DON'T see anyone saying they want to skip to 50 - in fact I'd say the response is pretty much what I said here), and you make a troll topic to prove your point? How egotistical can you get?

Referring to the Original Post:

In moments like this one I'd like to have the "Dislike" button, to spam Enter on it... Probably this is the most funny idea that I heard from last October.

I just hope that all of you, people, are aware that the big work about balancing the game is still continuing. So if something NOW could appear strange or broken, it will probably be fixed or it's just caused by the fact that we played since now a totally different game. ( luckily the game is improving, even if a lot of stuffs should still be fixed )

Sorry for bad english.

This idiocy is an example of why you shouldn't take the forums seriously. The game has gotten better since 1.19, but half the forums are bitching. And in the end of the day, mmo forum goers are often a whiney, spoiled, malcontented lot. If SE gave you all lifetime subs for free, you'd cry you couldn't bequeath it to your damned children.

idea is retarded, not enough stuff at endgame to keep people playing til new content comes, others earned their stripes, you should damned well have to, as well, skipping to the end defeats the very object and is a direct insult to the FF brand (as if launch wasn't enough already).

Pick one of the above, it's a ridiculous idea.

Stop satiating the whiners.

I just want to say that this game is not meant for weak people! so just work to the lvl cap please! If you don't like the system don't play it.

If thats what players wanted, then why are there no likes on the OP. I'd really be surprised if you ever broke double digits on that

SOME players clearly want a super fast grind or auto-level.

Not ALL players want that.

Please do not confuse the preference of some with that of all.

Further, do not twist around or ignore the context of others to serve your own agenda. That's just rude, presumptuous and arrogant.

People have clearly indicated they'd like the process of leveling to be more interesting, with more diversity, more content and such. That does not translate, in any way, to "they want to skip all the leveling entirely".

Further, no matter how much content any MMO dev provides their players, there's always a group who are going to complain that it's "too much of an annoying grind to get to level cap"... Why? Because all they're doing is grinding levels. The folks who are diversifying, doing different things and enjoying the trip don't have that problem.
