Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[Tsukino]

Remember when people exploited SP gains from healing, and SE issued a statement saying anyone who did it on purpose and was caught would be rolled back or possibly banned?

Good times.

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.

you could power level before.

I don't remember anyone actually getting banned >.>..

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

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."

yes
without the level differences, thats how the game works, and how its programmed
thats no mistake

your trying to find something thats not there

hes specificaly saying that the level differences between players DOES NOT affet incoming sp(outside the party bonus that is, since you dont recieve that 1 person whos higher then yous)

i remember that
but that isnt the case here

heres whats happening

1) they have stated that they made a mistake and didnt expect something to happen(how much exp we gained basicaly with mass aoe linking and chains)
2) they have stated the biggest issue is the afk leveling
3) they have acknowledged this will be fixed next patch
4) they state that power leveling will still be encouraged and available(just not to this extent)

i dont see a reason to ban anyone, but yeah i remember the launch issues, that was something different entirely since they addressed people on it and they still did it after being told not to

[viion]

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

That's bullshit lol. Prior to this patch if a level 50 is in a party with a level 1, and kills a level 1 mob, the level 1 would not get exp for it.
