So... for those of you who love to level up quick, yeah... the old way sucked. But guess what? The "old way" produces BETTER PLAYERS. Yes, that's right. I said it. The old way produced better players. How can you learn a job by partying or soloing to 30 and then key whoring the rest of the way until you're finally able to hit something for skillups 70+? The new way may be awesome for leveling up fast, but that's all it's good for. For casual players or, for those of us who appreciate working hard to level so we can actually LEARN how to play our jobs along the way, the old way is still the best way to go. The old way is still available and still being used by people. So, at least SE left that option open for the smart people.
