PL Woes

[Keyln]

Is there a disconnect between logic, reason, and FFXIV in your head?

Ooooh, interesting use of jpg, and the insult isn't half bad. More "your mom" references and perhaps a little more swearing, and this troll effort would be scored higher. I give it a 6 out of 10.

=Player is inexperienced and bad=
=Player is less then a week old=
=Player was PL'd till 50=
=Player never had to play his class since someone got him heaps of EXP while he sat there playing Pokemon Red=
=BUT HE ISN'T BAD BECAUSE HE WAS PL'D! HE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LEARN HARD ENOUGH!=

And you keep forgetting that there are some things that you don't learn just by playing a class until endgame. The proper use of Esuna and Presence of Mind are some of those things. As I said before, whether or not he was powerlevelled is immaterial, as these things one doesn't learn UNTIL one goes into endgame.

Honestly, I don't think you take in consideration that the Moogle fight is nothing like levelling in a party, or in a leve.

Saying that people should just magically learn how to play their job at cap when all they have left to fiddle with is End Game is like saying we should just gives cars to every 13 year old on their birthday.


"If he REALLY wants to be good he'll learn how to drive. He doesn't need some time to learn what the rules of the road are. How to properly place his feet. To judge distance and speed. Growing up is boring and he has a party to get to next week and he HAVE to be 16! He can't wait besides growing up is boring and it doesn't really teach you anything you can't learn at the end anyways."

Bad analogy is bad. There are some things you don't learn until after you grow up and take some responsibility.

Sure they'll learn but not before a great deal of damage has been done and in the end even if they DO figure it out they would have a better grasp if they began with fundamentals. Not to mention it would separate the good from the bad at least partly. A bad but determined player can cap out but more likely then not he'll stall at some point because PT's keep kicking him for being incompetent.

See, here's the thing. You know nothing about this guy. You know nothing of what's he played, or even how he levelled, and yet you keep making these general assertions. For as far as you know, this could have been this guy's first MMO, and he saw his friends playing FFXIV and went, "Oh wow, that looks cool.", and goes out to buy the game. He convinces his friends to get him up to 50 ('cause that's when the real fun starts), as well as get him WHM.

You say it's powerlevelling when in fact, it can't be because WHM didn't come out till just this recent patch, and I can say with certainty that the need for Esuna would never come up even if he levelled using leves or the old fashioned party grind.
