    In my opinion you're barking up the wrong tree in both FFXI's Abyssea or the leveling after 1.19.

    If people want to take their time leveling they still can, nothing stops them. People, however, want a fast way of leveling and they've gotten it. Much like in Abyssea, nobody was preventing you from not using the boosts from NPC"s. By all means if you wanted a "challenge" in that respect you could easily have one.

    That being said, I hope they don't go back to the leveling the way it was. Before 1.19 anybody could kill mobs 10lvls above them and go from 1-50 relatively quickly, nothing has changed now.

    Also, it's not like FFXI was immune from leveling in such a manner and I didn't hear you touch upon it when you were talking about how amazing it was pre Abyssea.

    FFXI has always had power leveling. Before Abyssea it involved 1 or more white mages or red mages leveling a party or a group of people, sometimes even a singular person. Then there were the infamous Summoner Burn Parties which made people level up very quickly. Abyssea alliances certainly made the grind easier but it didn't make doing the endgame content any easier- or knowing how to play your job for that matter.

    I'm very sorry if I sound harsh, that isn't my intent. However, please understand FFXI was far from well balanced and perfect the way you make it sound.

    FFXIV needs a lot of TLC until it is worth paying for. This current leveling system may yet change and it probably will (at least i hope) but for right now, I'm ok with the power leveling because it isn't being shoved down my throat and quite frankly, it's not being shoved down your throat either.

    OP, WTF?!

    Did you expect people would feel sorry about you? None gives a shit about your story and it has nothing with the game.
    Go find some therapist and talk to him.

    I love OP, hope SE reads all these threads. There are hundreds of veteran FF players who hate this PL stuff, it needs to be fixed asap. I knew allowing outside-pt attacking with full exp gains was gonna really mess up some things.

    OP, maybe it's best to step away from the game and do something else for a while. It's all about balance.

    Another vet FF player who disagrees that it's in need of a fix. Where exactly are you getting this "hundreds" from? All we have even seen here is a relative vocal minority pitching a fit. Nothing even close to hundreds.

    Then re-read the OP while it plays.

    Is it better now?
    It really DOES make it better.
