Practice makes perfect, reading and imitation only gets you so far.

Actually no all these classes (maybe not monk) all of them can pretty much be slapped on a 50 and be fine with skills and general gameplay knowledge.

I have an idea

-Guildhests should reward every class for the first time.!! It's a good idea.

I think/hope SE has something planned because at the moment, unless they change it, lv 50 > 60 requires pretty much the same amount of exp needed for 1 > 50

May I suggest that additional quest lines be added and only unlocked when you start your 2nd (3rd, 4th, etc.) job. This would give added backstory/lore/etc. and needed quest exp to level the added job(s) without getting into a boring grind. Admittedly it DOES mean additional work for writers and devs, but if Yoshi's goal of having FFXIV last for 10 years, they WILL be needed to keep people busy and exploring.

End-game content cannot do it all. There needs to be a way to keep those that want to keep adding jobs busy without getting them bored. Yoshi and the devs would be smart not to ignore the lower levels while adding end-game content.

FFXIV seems to be based on multiple swings through the lower levels and keeping them fresh with new and surprising new content and quests would do much in making FFXIV different from other MMOs that just concentrate on adding end-game content

Things are fine as they are, you don't have to do FATEs in order to level, organize a leveling event with your FC and do either leave quests or Chain hunts.

PS: Kill quests are the same as FATEs, you are not resolving anything by adding in kill quests, just because it involves text that only 10% of the community reads and others skip though does not mean it is any different than FATEs.

But but.... that requires effort!? NO WAY! :p
