Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[Krausus]

your pic is on the newer ffxiv review on mmorpg.com, dont know if you knew that. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/g...pressions.html

Wow that is a really really old pic funny they used it for a new review

Gate enjoyed the OP.
Gate believes that PLing was their intention, but not to the extent that it is now. They're fixing it shortly and won't be taking actions to those who participated in game mechanics.

My 1 Gil is worth more than your 1 Gil.

on the topic of PL, pre 1.19 i could already hit 1-20 in a few hours solo. Grant it i was donig all the work myself. It seems the real isue is the 20-35 range. After 35 you no longer have use of a pl and would be better off being in a 35-50 stronghold party imo.

this is not true, I can PL someone past 40. I've done it since the patch.

1-10 sucks now btw, not really worth it to do leves, and its not really worth it grind outside because you have 1 normal attack to use every 30 secs and limited AP even if you did have other classes leveled. Curing yourself takes more mp if you have a cure. Stuff like this is pushing people to power level those levels especially, and honestly i think 1-20 pl isn't even bad, you don't learn anything 1-20, 1-20 are basics you can learn in any mmo. Past 20 is when you build guildleves need to do class quests, and you start learning things instrisic to XIV and not really general mmos. Would you really roll back someone for those crap ass levels, when it does nothing to hurt you? I mean past level 40 you pretty much just have to leech in a full party of real levelers to even get pl'd, and that's not even pl'ing, thats you going afk during a real party and just leeching. Those people that let them leech, thats up to them, its probably there ls, and they have to twink them, and they have to play with them. It doesn't really effect us much those pl'd people are pretty much never going to see the light of day when it comes to random shouts random parties and such. There stay within the ls that invited them. If someone random asks you to pl them, say no. They'll find someone else to do it and offer them gil, and if that person says yes, oh well. It's just not your problem.

My thing is I think yoshi p wanted outside pl, which is still possible in this game just harder since pl'd person has to get claim on a mob 9 levels higher than them for max exp while hopefully the pl kills it in time. I actually tested if a pl system like this works, and it does (it was on a crap job that the person had no intent on leveling past 10 just for giggles so don't be like OMG). The real exploit is that we can pl in party. I would understand if people could only pl out of party thats so much more effort and it takes forever, but if we're pling in party you can get up to chain 7 or more depending on a came if you get a thm 50 to just aoe nuke, you'll also get links of 3 or more which will net you the (+100%) link bonus. This again was tested on a level 1-10 job that didn't mean crap just to see what people are talking about.

It's outrageous, but after the implications of a what a character would even be like if pl'd to 50, that character would be gimp and I doubt much of a threat. If their ls pimped them out (this is called twinking for the mmo youngins), they'll prob only play with their ls. It doesn't actually affect the on the world, we just don't like it, and it feels wrong to us. Just admit it.

tldr version: Aistaraina's check boxes, like I hate /thread, but its almost /thread.

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.

You honestly created a brand new character to post with so we cant see your own "exploit" of this PL business?
Post with your main, if you want me to take you at all seriously.
I myself has ranked my 2-3 month old Con from 1 - 46 pre 1.19 and not much PL unless my LS friends were online. People are free to choose wether to PL or do normal questing. Just because its there, doesnt force you into doing it.

Im currently leveling my Thm the "normal" way cause I choose to.

Im so glad you are not on my server, cause you sound like a moron. Again, post on ur main next time.
