That's not realistic. On Besaid, I constantly see shouts for regular exp parties of varying levels and I've never seen a shout in Ul'Dah for power leveling. The new players or people that haven't ranked to 50 yet are still playing the game the old fashioned way. Powerleveling is truly for the veterans.
Or anyone who shouts for a shell and jumps immediately into said shell's PL party.
