[Devs] Power leveling - abuse, please important

[Zenaku]

Not an exploit.

Please don't post useless topics because you don't like something.

You do understand that the point of the forums to start with right? to complain and talk about stuff we don't like. I don't know why people keep forgetting that the point of having the forums to start with.

This is reply to not be taken seriously, imo. If people should not post topics because they dont like things, then there would be no threads @ all. Paradox, dont you think ?

I am fine with pwrlv and I like to pwrlvl ppl. however in the case that low party will engage and play, then I will help them to kill outside pt to gain extra and fast cheins.

This was actually the issue, why ppl were starting threads after 1.19 was out. And it was half fixed in 1.19a, I named only other half that wasnt in my first thread. If you dont like that then dont post useless replies.

Not a useless reply.

Your post shouldn't be taken seriously because you can't abuse something that is working as intended. Paradox, don't you think?

Thank you for your feedback on my posting but people should recognize the difference between useless complaining and competent complaints.

Do you think oust / invite / oust / invite is what devs intended ? If you think it, then you may. Its unambiguously flawed mechanic.

I know how it works and have known within the first hour of patch 1.19a and yes they intended for PLing. How it is achieved is irrelevant if it is wrong they will fix it but some sort of PL will be in the game.

Though this is how they intended PLing to work because they said the problem in 1.19 was how xp was calculated with a lvl50 in the party. Not outside of it.

You think its an unambiguously flawed mechanic (useless complaining), which is not the case. It is a perfectly working as intended way of leveling up.

Now if you want to have a complaint about the animation lock, that would be a competent complaint. Animation lock hinders gameplay, PL does not.

Please try to comprehend the difference, would make these forums way more useful.

Lol why are you being such an ass? If people like YOU were gone, it would make these forums that much better.

PL does effect other people, it hinders how many parties they can get into since they are lower leveled than anyone else, no one will sell low leveled gear, no one will be shouting for low leveled parties, PL takes camps that are good for regular parties.... there is a big list of different things PL effects. Don't be ignorant to the situation.

You think the developers really expected people to leave the party after getting hate then joining up after they're killed? I honestly don't think so. PL was meant for that person to be outside of the party to begin with, and they can help kill mobs after the original party has claimed them. Now we have a system where people sit on their lazy asses and get free exp.

It's as Yoshi-P said, the 50's have to give up time they could spend doing other things to benefit themselves in order to PL others.?

Doing what? Everyone is bored to death. Where is this imaginary content they could be working on?

Powerlevel should not even be in the game it's 1year old add it when the game is 5-8year old like FFXI where there not a lot of new players joining. I don't know how many time i said this but not even in wow you can level up this quick to 50 and talking about a person joining right now without link friend account or the gear that level up with you.

it's a joke people getting 50 not knowing how to play there class and getting ifrit and everything done get bored and quit i don't see how this help ffxiv at all.

Agreed. A Final Fantasy game should never have a leveling curve that's faster than World of Warcraft. It's something the devs should be embarrassed of, frankly.

Instead of encouraging others to blow through the levels, maybe the devs should be creating meaningful content so that people will want to legitimately play through them.

Powerleveling is on the fast track to ruining FFXIV.

If they want to put a kybosh on it, its a pretty straight forward fix. (Well straight forward in terms of what needs to be done, I have no clue the difficulty on the back end)

As I've said a few dozen times: power leveling and a short trip to cap are a neccassary evil in XIV.

If anything is the death of the game, it'll be the failed launch.

Yoshida and crew looked at what resources they had, and realized they only can afford to design high level content as they try to shape 2.0 into the game XIV should have been.

It's only fair to everyone involved that if, for the remainder of 1.x, all they can do is design level 50 encounters that everyone have a fair shot at getting to 50 before the calamity hits that beings 2.0 and wipes most of this content out.

XIV cannot afford many archaic MMO conventions.

they would just have to re-instate the old system of limiting party functions when in battle.
