Exp Merits

[Mrbeansman]

Even without abyssea good players seem to be able to level any new job in just days. I wonder why that is? Maybe part has to do with knowing where to go, how to get exp at max rate, where and how to not waste time and energy.
Nevertheless they do learn the tricks of the job. Each job is different and has its own little twists that do require skill. You cant learn skill easily when you have to learn them all at once not one at a time.
Now some people do seem to know how to use each job to max rather easily but I am afraid most of us just arent that naturally talented. I know for sure I am not.
You know there is the old saying 'take time to smell the flowers'. Maybe that applies here in that we ought to take the time to enjoy the twists and turns of each job and not focus so much on getting to the end.
I do understand wanting to get a job up fast to do some particular thing in an end game niche but it just seems like such a waste.

Man those leaches always going around and preventing you from leveling the old fashion way with good friends you know and trust.

Honestly that isnt my point at all. Fact is I have pretty much soloed four of my level 90 jobs. I have to also admit that I am not nearly as good at them because I did. Sure I know how to play them but not in party dynamics.
