Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[Antonn]

Players that have been exploiting the elemental weaknesses of monsters to do more damage should be banned for using an exploit.

How SE sees it "Ban Potential Customers?", no need for anymore than that!

I used to have a lv 50 PL my 20's on puks in mines, it wasnt as good XP as it was now but you could just do same before lol.

The only beneficial now is that you get bonus's and theres no penality, the penality before wasnt 0 exp it was just a reduced percentage.

I feel there should be some sort of punishment for those who willing took advantage of power leveling. Either a rollback of the ill gotten experience points, or even a suspension or ban for the really big exploiters. It's unfair to those that leveled legitimately.

if you didnt noticed, this game is still in testing phases and you are giving suggestions on how SE will punish players who did PL? iam pretty sure SE will hold a meeting on just to hear your suggestions and fulfill your needs on how to punish players in *beta phases*

Meeting:
- Should we ban?
- The media will crush us, we will lose potential subs and current active players, plus everyone will be pissed.

Meeting over.

I don't know if it's been brought up, but in ffxi when SE discovered the duplication exploit from salvage they did widespread banning of accounts/characters... I don't think anyone felt the response was even remotely fair.

I have mixed feelings about SE's stance on powerleveling, but calling for punishment for the people who are gaining from it won't really solve anything. If it's an issue working other than intended then SE's only prerogative should be to fix it asap, not to mete out punishment to the people who have used it.

Pretty much this. I think PLing was a huge and foolish oversight by Yoshida, but nobody should be banned for it. Square screwed up - it was their fault. Nothing wrong with people using it (short term anyway, long term it's bad for the game) since it's WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE GAME, but obviously this little oversight needs to be patched and Square needs to move on from this screw up.

Are you freaking serious?

Devs said its perfectly fine. The only upset ones are those with a full compliment of 50s or those without the friends willing to help. We suffer for these players now.

those of us with full 50s actualy arent upset at all....

cant plvl crafting and gathering
and you only need 1 combat at 50 and alot of people already had that, so getting more there doesnt do alot more
