Please bring back old leveling up and longer battles!

I like the spirit of what you're saying. Contribution during combat and getting rid of this afk-powerleveling garbage. I hate powerleveling with a passion.

However, the original system was very frustrating. Inconsistent SP gains, melee getting more than healers when both classes were equally doing their jobs, casters beating on things with their wands, unnecessarily drawing out fights. My husband and I were a PGL/CNJ duo, and after a night of doing the same leves, we'd have to go out and grind so I could catch up because his PGL always 'stole' all my SP. He'd switch to his GLD and take the hits while I finished off the monsters.

The original system was totally jacked up and needed to change. And to be honest, it isn't to blame for the powerleveling epidemic we have now. That was facilitated by Yoshi-P who said he was fine with PLing, unfortunately. :/
