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]

I'm suggesting it because in other posts where i criticize the game for making leveling too repetitive and too easy lots of people said that leveling isn't the good part of this game and there is no reason to make it a chore.

The FFXIV community seems to want choice so I thought I'd put forward an argument for it.

I realize you are stuck in the old mindset of playing the game to achieve things but that isn't what people on these boards want. They want to be able to port instantly anywhere, auto-level to 50, and pick whatever gear they want. Because that will let them have fun.

2/10, you'd best be trollin' son.

What players want is enough actual content to carry them through the grind. Quests and story and missions and events and instanced raids and things like that. Fun stuff. If there's enough fun stuff to carry us all to 50 none of us would be complaining about a grind because it would be non-existent.

When you have to grind to get to the fun stuff, that's when there's a problem. Make the fun stuff part of the grind, I say.

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.

[AlexNiculaie]

Wow, at first I laughed because it was funny. Then I realized you were being serious.

Look, not every whim needs to be catered to. This isn't about adding "choice," it's about being spoiled and encouraging an unearned sense of entitlement. What next, whining for a win everything button?

[Delsus]

Seeing as your making the retarded posts heres one for you, why dont we just give everyone all gear, all level 50s and all lodestone achivements automatically, that way we have no reason to play, which is what you seem to want.

Leveling is a part of any RPG be it offline or an MMO thats all imma say in this thread because I want it to die so the devs dont even contemplate this retarded idea.

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?
