it would be nice if leveling was less exploitable

[LastFireAce]

Yay i don't care.... I always lv my jobs by myself and my way. I don't care if other use a glitch whatever.
If you had fun lv you own way then Stop being a snowflake on how other did it. your way is no meaningless unless you let it be.

It doesn’t really take that long to level legitimately. In my limited time of playing, I managed to get to 50 in 3 days collecting spells along the way when my level was good enough. I never actually saw anybody cheating, but if I did, I’d just move to another location. At 50, farming spells in dungeons and trials has been fun. Carnival is cool, too. I’ve managed to get 36/50 spells at this point and will try to complete my spell book.

Oh no, player's have found an efficient method of leveling.

Bad them, for not playing the intended way.
This really has to stop, if a developer cannot be bothered to even test their content or even consider if some design decisions are not really terrible with the current core mechanics of a game... Is the developer team fault here.

This would be precious in a community like Dark Souls... "Some players found that the drake sword is really strong and can easily be accessed! please patch it so they play the INTENDED way!"

Lmao.

Leveling blu is just a pointless chore as you don’t actually gain anything from leveling up. I feel like they should have just let the job unlock at 50 since the whole point of it is farming spells anyway. I’m glad I got my “cheat” leveling done before they fix it so you can no longer do that. Also glad I got in before they nerfed chocobo xp gains. Getting my bird from 7 to 10 woukd have taken months and months, now it’s done.

Anyway, they will fix this eventually and also there will soon be far fewer people leveling blu anyway. But even after it is fixed people will still continue to level by having a 70 wipe out whole areas for them in 1 shot anyway, which isn’t an exploit and can’t/won’t be fixed. That’s what happens when they introduce a completely pointless and unfun grind.

We don't do that here.

SE will let it die or do nothing at all. This is yet another experiment gone wrong in their idea of "Enjoyable Sidecontent".

Like the Diadem, Verminion, Eureka...

I rather they put more resources and effort in a proper trait system, class customization, real raids and dungeons.

Well, apparently the Japanese community isn't a fan of BLU either. So expect changes relatively soon.

[Liam_Harper]

I agree to an extent.

I can't blame the playerbase at all, it's natural to seek the most effective leveling methods. The whole thing is a major developer oversight and a lesson hopefully learned in not testing content properly.

People will defend it, but this isn't what we wanted when we asked for Blu. No one asked for a new class that cheeses to max level in a few hours and learns abilities by being carried by lv70's in outdated content a few hundred times. We want to play the new class. The only place we really get to do that is the Carnival, that's it.

people don't really enjoy levelling, more news at 11!

levelling BLU to 50 solo the 'legit' way is simply a dreadful experience because of the laughably low solo target damage output.
Water Cannon with its whooping 120 potency is the weakest base damage spell of ANY class bar Ruin I (which doesn't really count because you get your pet at lvl 4). 1k needles has a longer cast time than the log-in queues on Balmeme on a patch day, and any other skill with actually decent potency is either locked behind a lvl 50 dungeon/primal or a meme suicide spell.
This is why I too only levelled normally to lvl 20 something since all the bonus exp items made it painlessly fast. After that I decided to hit the sylphlands

Leveling as BLU is a lot more fun if you can get access to Dragon's/Ram's Voice since it allows for mass mobbing between the former's huge radius, the latter's long-lasting freeze to mitigate damage and the combo of the two that can burn down a group surprisingly quickly.

[Colino]

Whilst I'm enjoying the content for what it is, most people wouldn't need to exploit through the leveling up process if the job was actually as broken as they made it sound. As it stands solo-levelling is just dreadfully slow because of how weak most of the spells really are.
