Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[viion]

admittance, then?
you are the kind of people ruining the game.

Thats very judgmental kido lol Considering Mog has never being PL'd.

Also how is someone being PL'd ruining the game, by making you jealous and angry no one will PL you? Their gameplay dont affect you, im not even on same server as you so im hardly ruining your game XD

Did anyone actually read what Yoshi said about this today lol?

It is a bug, and it is an exploit. The mechanic that limits exp gains when a higher level player is in the party is not functioning. People are exploiting that to powerlevel lol.

That said, they probably shouldn't punish anyone for it.

Can you quote where he said it was a "Bug" or and "exploit"

Maybe you read something we all didn't.

I recall "we didn't expect it to be used this way"

Remind you of anything?

Ninja FFXI?

And when SE banned a ton of people for exploiting SP gain on DoM back last September that was just people using the SP system the way it was intended, yeah?

i just read it

no where in the post does it say the mechanic isnt working as intended

what they are saying is there is an issue with people "AFK"ing during it

now that i can see as an issue, and in its own way "illegal" play

you cant be afk and benefit from it, thats obviously not how its supposed to work

but no where in it does he say they misprogrammed it



what he also said is they have a countermeasure for it going in in 1.19a(which is gonna be here really soon, i bet its next week) and thats why they didnt do an emergency maint. for this fix

Not to mention they also state the high exp is due to removal of claim system, (AOEing is the point).

I dont know how they can count measure that without going back to the old claim system. The AFKing one is easy.

But PLing its self will stay, Yoshi wants it, deal with it, but he dont want AFKers.

Thank you for all of your feedback.

We have confirmed that an aspect related to inhibiting an over abundance of experience point gains is not working as intended as a consequence of removing the claim system. We will address this issue with patch 1.19a. We will provide more details as they become available, so we would appreciate your patience in the meantime.

We are sorry that it has taken us a while to comment, and we’re keenly aware of the very harsh comments posted. We ask for your patience and understanding while we work to address the issue and appreciate your continued support of the forums.

I think he did say it.

I think he did say it.

It doesnt say its a bug, it says not working how they thought (People AOEing).

Its like FFXI Ninja did not work as how they intended.

They should have banned all the NIN in FFXI. That'll teach em!

thats not yoshi posting that
go look at yoshis post and he says what the real problem is

afk leveling

what fox is saying looks like bad wording to me, something along the lines of "we didnt expect people to mass chain stuff for exp this bad" the inhibitor he was talking about is the old claim system itself which is now gone


and imo, the biggest problem with this system is the link bonus
you wanna cut off the overly abused exp gains, cut the link system down(why the hell links give more exp then chains is beyond me)
