But aren't you limited to 8 leves a week or something?
This is such a stupidly complex set of limitations to place on paying customers. Even with that detailed explanation, it's still not entirely clear what the limitations mean in practice. They even add another factor in : It doesn't seem to be a case of 8hours. It seems to be a case of 8 hours OR an xp limit, whichever happens first.
Squeenix are utterly forgetting about the rule of unintended consequences. ALWAYS assume an online community will be insanely demanding.
Limiting the amount of xp and skill won't make the game fairer to casual people at all. It'll make the end game far far more inaccessible.
"You're a healer? do you have <insert damage reducing tank skill here>?"
"erm no..."
"we don't want you in our party then!"
"But I haven't been levelling as a tank, I want to be a healer! If I start levelling as a tank to get that skill, it's going to be 3 months because of the limits xp and skill!"
"tough, there are loads of healers with that tank skill who have been playing since launch we can choose from!"
Then of course there's the AFK-ing in the cities whilst people sleep so they can reduce their XP
