Square Enix has given up on real gameplay

[Rowe]

I'm not saying the gameplay is not there at the end but why can't it be there the entire way through? Its abhorrent that you can literally one button press your way through an entire craft. Why couldn't there be a more elegant enjoyable solution? Why is there no feeling of advancement? Why would people rather powerlevel than enjoy the journey to 50?

Because I already got LNC and ARC to 50 before the patch and I don't want to dedicate another 2 months to getting the next class to 50.

That was the promise of the physical levels, getting to 50 physical level would make ranking up other classes easier than starting from scratch. But SE removed physical level, now a new player level 0 in all classes would level at the same speed as a player who is rank 50 in 2-3 classes. Power leveling compensates for this problem by allowing an established player with friends who help him/her level faster.

You make a really good point. I sort of agree. For someone who is already at 50x2 the magic is pretty much gone. But it doesn't have to be that way. Each job could be a refreshingly fun and new experience that makes you relish the journey all over again. I guess that would be too much work >.>

edit: ALSO, what about crafting though? You'd think that giving crafts equal status with DoW/M would result in similarly advanced leveling gameplay? Instead its just duh button press, duh, button press.

so you think that becuase you got a class or 2 at 50 you should get special treatment? not even close bub your opinion is elitest and should be kept to your selfe everyone should have to earn thier lvls at the same pace no speed lvlng becuase you got other classes at 50 powerleveling should be a permanent banning offens
