We both refuse to power level, there's absolutely no point in a MMO to skip half the content in the game, even if it is a grind. I wouldn't have done it in WoW, I wouldn't have done it in FFXI. I'm half afraid to even join a linkshell due to the power leveling. So far, we've gotten Dragoon unlocked together, and it was a blast. We did the Maws duo, and it was a fun and memorable. Did we clear it? No, but it was fun learning through on our own and not having our hand held.

If you're going to skip half the exploration and content, why are you even playing this game?
Who said you need to skip? I did all the content being lvl 50. Didn't skip a thing.
