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

[Alegis]

Oh my god... is this thread serious?

I mean... for real?


And if yes, why not just ask new players if they want to be full-equipped too?
Hell, give them 999.999.999 Gil and all Rare/Ex drops and materials for 100 sets of Crafted armor. No wait, not just the mats. Give them finished +3 Gear with 5 materia on it.
And dont forget to give them all DoH/DoL to 50. They dont have to waste time to get Market-Wards working anymore then too, so enough time to create more new gear they can add right to the players Inventory.

I mean, why should we have to do anything by ourself in a Game huh?...


I did read alot crap in forums yet, but thats the worst idea i have ever seen.

I'm with ya Azury.

OP is a troll.

I wish you could rate people down on these forums, so posts like this would disappear instantly. So, essentially, the (what) 10% of the players that you managed to gather up in support of this inane idea are the only ones who want auto-50's?

Yes, MMOs are a grind...they're designed that way for a reason. If your method of playing came to pass, every MMO would have about a three-month lifespan, unless the developers could churn out content every month to meet the insane demands.

Not gonna waste another breath, but I would like whatever medication you're on.

The whole point of this thread ended up being just to trick and anger people then.
Reminded me of the forum rules actually.

"Please do not post false, fabricated and/or fictitious information. It is unconstructive and will only confuse others. Please be careful with what you post and keep in mind that your words can affect others more than you may expect."

THIS. Please close this misleading and false proposition of a thread.

um... wtf... r u serious?! I totally disagree. This is a MMoG and in all games there is a leveling system... thats one of the basic components of any game. If SE listened to this nonsense I would be done w/ mmog forever!! I am final fantasy only. This is just a dumb thread.

[ViolentDjango]

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?

Let me help you out, you seem to not know much about Azurymber.

Typically most topics by this OP that I've seen only become sources of good conversation accidentally because there are other, worthwhile people on the forum who override the ridiculousness with good logic.

I half agree with you. MMO's are designed around a grind for a reason, but I don't think grinding is an absolutely must for them to be a great experience. There are other options, they are just incredibly daunting for developers so they resolve to use leveling curves as a means to give themselves time.

Which is NOT a bad thing. It makes perfect business sense. Just wanted to say that there -are- alternatives, though we probably won't see the industry pushed towards them within the current generation (or even the next.)

if you want to be auto-leveled to 50 then pay an RMT.

This is the stupidest idea I have ever heard of....
