request for Exp reduce

[Ilean]

1) I have to assume by your first comment that you have never had a PL group in any game dominate or steal a spawning area from you and a party you were in or that you have never been MPKed by a PL or a Beastmaster in FFXI. I also have to assume that you are concluding that a level 10 Marauder is the same and capable of the same as a level 50 Marauder. PLs and people being PLed always affect others. They dominate camps used by people who party at those locations. They create a group of people who start doing end game material who have to be trained by others to perform the tasks required to complete said content because they are not really all that sure as to what they should be doing to start with. They also affect the economy by bypassing the normal buying and selling of lower end equipment, thus the reason why most Wards only have high end equipment. Not to mention they are normally not ready to fully equip that PLed class because they are too busy going from 10-50 in a few days and have no other means of generating gil. The list goes on and on...I will not bore you more since you don't agree.

No, I agree that the ability to reach 50 quick does affect the world.

Just it simply does, it's not positive or negative.

PL groups steal camps? PFFT Give me a break! They are only as likely to do it as non PL groups. Douches will be douches, PL or not.

How about this? PL groups actually help you with leveling because they get much more exp than a regular group so they move out from camp quicker.

Oh it can be seen either way and I am all for it but as it is now...nah. Like I said earlier I would rather see a level synching system where all players are involved and helping rather than a stand around and collect XP party.

I don't think people PL so they can get exp for doing nothing, but so they level up much faster and have to spend less time grinding.

PL is the closest to a golden mean between people who like the grind and those who hate it.

It's not perfect, IMO perfect would be having separate servers for people who don't enjoy timesinks and those who do. Since we don't have that, PL is good enough if only you are willing to tolerate people with different goals and play styles.
