And no wonder i never found it i've been looking on Lodestone announcements which is what they said they would do.

World Transfer Service
If you find yourself unable to play with friends because they're on a different World, please consider using our World transfer service.
* World transfer service is scheduled to begin mid-September. An announcement will be made on The Lodestone at that time.*

You are assuming that I have time to put in 12-18 hrs a day for 2 straight days running from FATE to FATE. You also assume I give a rats nest about rushing to Level 50. I am enjoying the content at the pace where I can level up multiple items in a day. Some days I spend time mining or gathering and crafting.

Your Character:
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2943995/
50 + 34 + 15 + 4 = 103

MY Character:
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2182898/
34 + 16 + 8 + 13 + 7 + 10 + 19 + 13 + 15 + 22 + 15 + 17 + 15 + 17 + 14 + 5 + 20 + 16 + 19 = 295

Hmmm... I'm almost triple your Total Level, and that's not counting my 2 Level 1s in GLD/PGL. So yes... Tell me again how your rushing to 50 is so much better than my enjoying my time slowly...?

Also the reason you're waiting in the Queue with your 'full party' for AK is because of the fact that the Duty Finder can have a limited number of the instance running at a time.

Yes it does, 2 FULL DAYS. Meaning if you're as busy as you claimed, you wouldn't be able to grind for two full days. Not only that, you also have from what the site shows, a 34 lancer/dragon, and level 15 marauder.

Aside from the 3 EA days, and 2 days into full release, I've taken the entirity of my time, when i could play, which is about 4-5 days a week, normally weekends, to hit what i'm at on my currently main. The point is, don't make suggestions that other people have no life, when what you say, displays that you're not as busy as you claim.

I work 40+ hours and the 2 days im allowed off i take to also go to college with a full time schedule (12 credits).
I get home roughly 730 on mon wed fri so that leaves me 3 hours a work night. I get home at 3 on tues thur with homework lets call it 6 hours a night. Saturday at 6 so 5 and sunday at 4 so 7. 3 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 29 hours. There are 168 hours in a week so 29 / 168 = 17.26% of my week is free time.

Game has been out for over 2 weeks now right? so lets say in those 2 weeks i had 58 hours of free time. Takes 2 days worth of playing to get 50 correct? and 2 days is 48 hours so by that reasoning i had 10 hours to spare. It takes me 1 hour to go from 1 to 15 as lancer with moogle cap (20%) and the flat 50% you gain from having a higher level and it took me 5-6 hours to get to 34 2 days ago by fate grinding. I now have 4-5 hours un accounted for and mind you its been over 2 weeks and i was being extremely generous with amount of time it takes to level. Manage your time better?? @Slater

Johnist you linked characters that are with 15 range which take 1 hour each to level with moogle cap and 50% from higher level. Let's say 18 characters with 15ish range so it would take me 18 hours to get all of them to those level ranges and that is being very generous. I'm also very much aware some are gathering/crafting but with leve quests those take even less time to level. The amount of experience required from 48 to 50 alone trumps like all of your levels put together. My 2 levels > your 295 And I'm very well aware of the instance limitation guy which is why i was complaining about it.

How does that make you more efficient with your time? Because you don't stop to enjoy anything and you just power through. Mind you, I have 2 characters, one thats a level 35 war, 15gla, 20 miner, 12 gsm, and the other is a 44 monk, 31 dragoon, 15 mrd, 11 archer, 22 BSM, 11 carpenter, 7 botanist.

if i wanted to, I could have both at level 50, before the allotted time you got your 1 to 50. I don't, because i enjoy playing the game itself. Rushing to level 50 is a waste of the game. So in all retrospect, I've actually made MUCH better use of my time in the game then you have. but if you want to rush to end game, that's fine, some people like too, but again, your assuming things about others. Taking your time doesn't make you inefficient, nor does it make you a bad player.

And FYI, I work everyday, all day. part of being on call 24/7 with my job.

Oh i should also mention the fact, that I spend a large amount of time setting materia for people, so in all honestly, I spend more time making gil in the game, then i do leveling.

I was being extremely generous with the amount of time and it was under 48 hours. If you could have gotten them all to 50 before my 2 weeks of pug and lancer doesn't that by your own logic make it so you have more free time? Setting Materia won't net you as much gil as buying cheap 45-50 gear soulbinding it and then disenchanting it by fate grinding DD and making seals out of it as well.

Anyways now that the "epeen" contest has ended back to the topic at hand.

I want my server transfers and fix queues for AK k go.

They will need to increase the number of Duty Servers for the queues for AK to be fixed since too many people are stuffing themselves into them.

Didn't want to call you out on it, but now i have to. There is NO WAY you got to level 50 just grinding fates in the small time frames per day you had. Considering the fact that many fates take longer to appear as you get higher in level, You'd most likely get to do the same fate, maybe twice in your 3 hour period at level 37+. The amount they give, compared to the amount you need also proves this. So no, you didn't get to 50 doing it as you did. You most likely would only gain a single level per day doing it in the time frame you allotted yourself

Oh, and Yes, you can make a lot of money socketing materia for people, considering newer players are turned off by crafting, and don't have the ability to create materia themselves most of the time. So you can make a lot of gil with materia.

It's not an epeen contest, its proving you wrong, as you seem to want to place yourself above others.
