I feel the same. Actually, I angrily debated this subject for days. The developers and Yoshida respond, but the joke was on me. The compromise was the powerleveling person must be outside the party. Good lot of help that did. Let's take turns rounding up the mobs. I'll take a nap. No wait, I'll play some pokemanz.

Tch, bitch please. This is a god damn MMO, work for your progress. Oh wait, the new generation is lazy as hell.

Face it, Smashington. We're old farts now. Personally, I'm not even 30 yet. But based on the majority response that I have seen, my ideals are old as old can be. Everyone wants the world handed to them. I'll just wait for the next Korean grind and hope like hell it isn't another WoW-clone. While not an optimal experience, it is the closest I'll get to a real MMO. When is RO2 coming out? Yeesh.
