Is it person arrogance to want to do your job well and gain skills in it? Tanks are told "Dont Voke off the PL" Blm's are given free reign to nuke heavy, every melee weapon skills whenever they feel like it. Theres no co-ordination or thinking in a PL'd party just a mass of people doing things they wont be doing next time they dont have the added help.
People learn bad habits being PL'd would you trust this peron to know their job well enough later on when they dont have access to a PL?
I know I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill since it happens so much these days anyway.
Jamal already kind of covered this line of thinking, but I'll address it from another vein. Good hate control doesn't exist at low levels. Ninja flat out sucks before Utsusemi: Ni. Don't act like you're gaining really valuable experience when you have almost nothing to do your job properly. Most job-defining abilities/spells come in the 30's; before then you're no where close to that level of effectiveness. If you can blaze through those shit levels(especially 1-10, where you're not even partying) and get to a point where you can actually do your job properly all because of a PL, good for you.
As far as skills go, it's not like you can't get them a little later and you're also not going to be power leveled your entire career. Even if you're a tank, you're going to be trying to hold hate as long as you can until the PL pulls hate; and they don't even do that on a lot of fights. That really only pertains to actual skills in the game, in regards to learning how to play, this game is not remotely difficult to learn. As long as your head isn't up your ass and you can pay attention, you can do any job in the game better than at least half the people out there(who cannot do one or the other, sometimes both).
It is personal arrogance to try to deny a group a power level just because you personally don't like it. If you're against it, leave, but don't fuck over 5 other people just because you don't like power levels. Personally, I usually enjoy having a power level at low levels. I've leveled more than enough jobs to know what I'm doing and I have better things to do than to get shitty exp. A power leveler gets me through those crappy low levels faster, with much less hassle and expense on my part; I don't see any problem with it.
There's also nothing stopping a group from being power leveled
and using strategy at the same time. Maybe you've only partied with brain dead idiots when you've been PL'd, but I've done skillchains + MB, had the tank voking the whole time, and had the blm's play intelligently all while under the watchful guidance of a 75 whm.

I partied with such a rdm, he was 18, and he cast protect on us every 5 minutes...
In the middle of party, after spamming protect, he sat down and rested. >_>;
He's either a bot, or he's just retarded, a PL has nothing to do with that.
. Am I being lazy with my job? I've got a couple jobs in the 75s and have a good idea how to play the. I'm not the king of all jobs, but I can use them effectively. Am I being an ass for putting that in my search comment? I don't know, but getting pts have been hard lately and the way SE makes solo'ing is near impossible unless ur maybe a bast or drg.
