Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[TheVedis]

I think he did say it.

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)

So all they have to do is make it so the player has to have at least a green enmity icon in order to gain exp in that case. so now, shield-bearing PL'er only has to pull a bunch of mobs, war drums, PL'd pler love taps each of them, AOE. makes it take a little longer. sound good?

Actually because of the nature of ranged attacks in this game it will probably slow it down considerably. The low level having to tag each mob first puts them in considerably more danger than the way it is now.

I believe the thing is the high level is partied with the low level, so the low level does not have to claim anything. the high level just blows them up and the low level is on auto-follow or something.

That's the way it is now, because the exp limiter for a high level in your party isn't working. Once that's fixed, the high level will have to be outside the party and the low level will have to tag the mobs first in order to get exp.

honestly, that doesnt sound like a bad idea to me
if you dont engage the mob(attack it) you shouldnt get exp for being afk....

The low level can also just cast cure I or sac I and obtain the same effect lol.

I fully agree with OP, I miss when the times when one had to actually grind for several hours a day to see some sort of progress in exp. Lets turn this new Final Fantasy into another version of XI so we can give the babies their bottles.
