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

[Preypacer]

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
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)

see: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...e.-Not-Broken.

Well it certainly worked. You got the attention.

Sort of a trollish way to go about it... but if it gets the message across that the PL'ing rate is pretty freaking stupid, then that's what counts.

I doubt even Yoshi expected this... regardless of what he's saying. If he does come out and say "yeah I know and I'm fine with it"...?

Then all I could say is, he's out of touch and apparently not a student of what happens in other MMOs when their population becomes too top-heavy... due to the attrition of age, or out-of-control PL'ing, and it's gonna come back to bite him in the ass.

As for those enthusiastically supporting it as a good thing? Well, I'll try to keep track of those names now, just so I can see how many come back later to complain how they're at level cap, there's not enough content and they're quitting.

And anyway... I know Yoshi made that statement in support of PL'ing in the Q&A...

But didn't he previous state that the felt 3 months is a good amount of time to reach 50?

.... Mixed message much?
