Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[Keramory]

Can you please speak English I don't understand American.

Of course you do. After all the bible was written in american and it was the first book ever and is everywhere. Therefore everyone knows american.

Anywayss to get on more topic, its so obvious that plling is very bad. Dont do it!

Are you really this retarded?

You're not supposed to get full exp if a high level character is in a low level party. That's what is broken. That has nothing to do with the claiming system. Everything I said is correct if it's just 1 high level PLing 1 low level. If it's a high level PLing a low level party, just insert the word party where it belongs lol.

its always been the case that exp is calculated like that, since forever

exp has ALWAYS been based on your level, not the higher level in the party, ALWAYS(not counting the original exp gain formula at launch)

this is no mistake

But that is how it is and will likely stay, cant have a PL system any other way

It shouldn't matter how many people are in the party, nobody should be flying through levels and getting bullshits amount of xp.

They should make it so that mobs at a player's current rank will yield the most XP so that the higher level can still help them out. This way, XP isn't so ridiculous, it would in fact be normal XP gain but just at a faster rate since they have a PL.

SE says "Lets allow Powerleveling"
SE Adds the ability to powerlevel in 1.19.
Players powerlevel each other.
???
SE Punishes players for powerleveling???


How about no.

In other words, please end powerleveling...

...but not until I powerlevel all my friends first.

And no rollbacks plz, kthx!

If I am not mistaking Yoshida gave us permission 3 separate times to pwrlvl. twice before in dev post and once in a live letter.

So if he penalizes anyone after telling them it is 100% ok to do... well yea he will lose a ton of players.

An exploit is doing something wrong, he gave us permission to pwrlvl saying he feels it is 100% ok.

He was warned this would happen by hundreds of people, he ignored it, it is now Yoshida's fault not the playerbase. Would be like taking everyones gil away because leves use to give too much... so we exploited leves to get alot of gil.

And God said you Noah, "You are the only one who did not power level, you shall make a boat. You will also take two of each monster in the world onto the boat with you, for I shall flood the world." And Noah made the boat, and awaited the flood. Soon it started to rain and rain and rain, and suddenly everyone was gone. Noah's boat landed onto ground some months later and released all the monsters from the boat. "Go and repopulate.", he said. Months later there are monsters for him to exp off of, "Great!" though Noah, "Time to Level Up!". Noah begins to shout for a party but then realizes he is the only human left on earth.

The end.

No you have it all wrong.

SE thinks of ways to help the nice people who play the game
So they make power leveling
Then mean people come in and try and hurt SEs nice intentions and swarm the fields with weapons and plung them into SEs heart in the form of dodos.
Then everyone is sad that mean people are doing that
Then SE comes in and says stop it!
Then SE comes in and takes out those who were so mean!

Yoshida says it in his effing comments.

"we didn’t foresee the extent to which low level players can sit AFK, while in the same party with a much higher level character fighting monsters, without the level differences between the players being applied to the incoming EXP."
