exp rewards and requirements have constantly been adjusted every expansion,a nd sometimes during patches.
Trust me, if the exp requirements/rewards from 2.0 were still in place, getting to 50 would take much longer than it did before 5.3.
(same with heavensward, and stormblood. Thought stormbloods nerf wasnt as big as HW, and HW wasnt as big as ARRs nerf)
Also 2.0 made leveling much harder/longer than it was in 1.19. You could easily spend an hour on a Lv1 class and be Lv50, due to how chaining mobs generated unreasonable amounts of exp.
After doing it once, i stopped myself, so id have some jobs to level for 2.0 (I regret not having done it for BRD and MNK, since I dislike those jobs so much lol.)
Back in my day, we had to level to cap in 10 feet of snow, up hill. You youngins today......
:P
Eh, troll or no the game could use some cutting back on exp here and there and some proper increases in others. :/
