Punishment for exploitation of Power Leveling

[Jennestia]

Please... SE can't even handle exploitation correctly, they completely botched Salvage dupes in XI, and besides this isn't exploitation.

They didn't botch anything--Full linkshells vanished because they all took part in the exploit, not to mention people who "didn't know anything but went along for the ride" got banned as well, they also banned and reverted gil totals of those who took part in the Tavnazia subligar glitch back in mid 2004.

They know how to handle exploitations, they're just more busy getting this game off the ground to honestly do something about exploits and bots. By the by, exploit means more than just the typical implementation, exploiting means, given official response, being afk and leveling while being powerleveled, you're exploiting a bug that way.

Definition:

Make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource)

If you do nothing at all and gaining levels while a higher level friend or friends are killing things, you're exploiting the bug which they basically stated it was.

Breaking the economy by pulling money out of the air with an exploit is far different than getting lower levels faster.

I dont know why ppl boher to continues on this thread, the poster only post 1 post....and he dont stat his opinion either....troll detect ?

[PrettyPrincess]

They post and then they can't defend themselves. Sad really.

[Krausus]

OP is mad no one would P lvl him, I dont blame anyone for not doing it, he is obviously a dbag

[Krausus]

watch them make it so that all characters in the party have to move to get xp in which case everyone would auto follow the PL. lol.

What I'm thinking they will do is make it to where a high rank in your party will lower XP gains. This way you can still PL but you will have to tag every kill first with the PL outside the party killing after you tag it.

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.

thats the core definition of the word exploit, it is used differently when it comes to games and even more with MMOs.

exploiting in MMOs can be defined as "abusing an unintended effect gaining an unfair advantage" with PL the effect was intended just not the extent that it was, this is in no way the players fault and it is in no way an unfair advantage.
