Doing my job. It's what I love. And what's more I like doing my job well. It's not somthing you see much anymore. It really baffles me as to why people don't play the game properly. Anyways, to the point at hand, powerlevels and the White Mage.
About a week ago I got my BLM up to level 30. So I had to go back to the dunes and raise my 15 WHM up to 30 so I could take BLM up to 60. Well, I went, put up my flag and was invited to a party quickly (blindly, of course. The new Xbox players don't quite understand the Intricacies of building a party quite yet). I went to the party camp to find we had a powerlevel. I thought things would be nice and easy and go faster then usual. It went faster alright. Too fast and within five battles I felt completly useless. The powerlevel always got to the heals before I did, and when I healed I got hate fast. In one of the parites I was in I was told to stop healing completly. So I began to raise enfeeb. My healing didn't go up at all, but I brushed it off and decided that I would raise my healing magic later. Soon, I realized this wasn't going to happen because between levels 15~23, 90% of the parties I was in had powerlevels. My healing hardly leveled, but the good news is that my enfeeb was capped!
There's also another problem with powerlevels. They're leveling people who can't do their jobs. I don't mean "I'm only leveling my sub, can't really get into it" bad. I mean "HOW I MINE FOR FISH!? LOLOL" Bad. Sure I'll let a miss~pull every now and then slide, I'll stay if I die a few times as long as there is a good reason, Hell I'll even heal you if I hate your guts... as long as you're doing a good job and you're not an idiot and know you. (Don't call me a noob. I'll watch you bleed.) But I will not stand for an unorganized party with a level 21 WAR/Subless (Busterblader) and a level 21 WAR/ 6 WHM. I will definitly not stand for it if there is a powerlevel. I don't give half a crap if I'm getting 1000exp/second. No, I will leave. I'll leave so damn fast you might have a heart attack. And the reason I leave: principal.
There has to be some principal, without principal the game is ruined. Thank you for your time.
