the way the wards are now it is an AH...just saying

Speaking in terms of Last Sold prices, how often etc. Though you're right, it is an AH atm; a really crappy and laggy one.

We are sorry that it has taken us a while to comment, and we’re keenly aware of the very harsh comments posted. We ask for your patience and understanding while we work to address the issue and appreciate your continued support of the forums.

I’m sorry that this is late, but I would like to add a few points.

Power leveling is viewed very differently from player to player, and I still stand by my stance that it should be allowed to a certain extent to bridge the gap between long-time players and newer players. This is because I see it as an act of volunteering, in which the power leveling players are willing to give up their time to help out their friends or family members.

We expected the extent of power leveling to become evident with the removal of the claim system, but we didn’t foresee the extent to which low level players can sit AFK, while in the same party with a much higher level character fighting monsters, without the level differences between the players being applied to the incoming EXP.

The calculations for gained EXP have been fundamentally changed in patch 1.19, which has made this issue more difficult to handle. We considered issuing an emergency maintenance to address this, but the release of patch 1.19a is very quickly approaching, so we have decided to fix the issue in patch 1.19a.

I’m sorry for the confusion that this has caused.
(from official forums)
i didn't actually realize low levels could just sit there and let high levels spam kill mobs. cause THAT... i think is a bit dumb, but if low levels have to at least claim the mobs then I'm of the same opinion as Yoshi-P

I have not played XIV, but I was looking forward to it... until I read about all of that and XIV started to sound like XI post-Abyssea accomplishment-wise. Gogo patch 1.19a??

High levels shouldn't be able to fight mobs for the low levels, however, I believe high lvls should be able to assist them with heals and buffs as traditionally done for pl. I fully support pl if it equals the amount of time sacrificed by the one pling.

The 1k per mob chain killing for low level afk players in same pt was utterly broken in every sense of the word. Allowing the high lvls to engage directly enables the lower level person to simply lock on follow and take a nap or watch tv.

you all complain about this and in FFXI everyone want Be key *** in abbysea so what the difference, then How many ppl here are guilt of Power level in FFXI with a party of low level and have a 75 WHM or RDM heal your party so quiet crying

and if you have all really noticed, If you are rank 10 and fight mobs that are 40-50 your Xp is still less then if you are with in 10 levels of the mob,

for the ppl that have played sense release it been beyond hell ranking up jobs, at least they gave us the ability make up for years worth lost time

Yea I'm happy about it. Alot of people are trying to justify a 1-2 day max level job and I just can't see it. Its clearly broken hence the fixing of said broken part.

You have to realize its not the least bit the same. The high level actually JOINS the party, and does the fighting. The lower level person practically goes AFK and comes back in an hour or 2 with 10 levels. We are talking around 75-100k EXP per hour here. Its different than simply replacing the healer and support in a balanced XI group with 2 DDs to kill faster because you have outside healing.
