Road to 80 removal

*I'm new to the forums, so if this is the wrong category to create the topic in, please let me know.*

I don't really like the Road to 80 buff. I'm sure a ton of folks appreciate it when they create a character on a Data Center that provides it, and I get it: the massive experience boost does the job of speeding up new players so they can reach the latest expansion and catch up with the veterans very well, and of course it aids the grinding of alts.

HOWEVER, I don't like it because the boost is just far too much for my preference. As a new player myself (despite my account's age), I'm not ready to go straight to the end; I want to enjoy the beginning and middle of the game, take my time, and make the most of the abilities, equipment etc that's granted unto me before I move on to the higher tiers. The permanent experience rate increase prevents me from doing so, and I feel like I'm in such a rush to reach level 80 that even trying to split the given experience between various jobs doesn't feel enough.
I may be in the minority here when I say that I genuinely enjoy the grind - I've played OldSchool RuneScape for years and the grinding in that MMO was where I got most of my mileage; playing Final Fantasy XIV with Road to 80 gives me the very opposite of that feeling, and I do not want to have to pay real world money just to move this character to another Data Center just to remove it.

That brings me to the main point of this thread: I want there to be a way to easily - whether temporarily or permanently - get rid of Road to 80 (and Road to 90 come Dawntrail) so that players like me may choose to take their time slowly walking through A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood, and so on, instead of running through it all and gaining constant levels every few minutes.

Technically, the road to 80 buff just gives you some extra exp and you have 20, soon to be 22 battle classes, 8 crafting classes, 3 gathering classes and 1 (soon to be 2) classes that are just kind of their own thing, that you can grind. And the buff doesn't mean you cannot enjoy the story or take yor time, you will outlevel it more quickly if you stick to just 1 class, but in dungeons and trials you sync down so it's not like you will wildly outlevel and burn thru them. It will really only make a difference in overworld quests, but that just means you will kill things in 2 hits instead of 4 and mean you will only have 450 hours of questing, cutscenes and characters silently nodding, instead of 500 before you reach endgame. And that is if you just stick to the msq The feeling of being rushed is just one you are giving yourself. The buff is really just a convenience since there are so many classes to level on 1 character.

If you don't want the buff at all, you can just roll a character on a server that does not have the new or preferred status or wait until that status is removed if you are determined to be on that server. The buff is only on those servers to encourage ppl to join them and spread the community out a bit and only lasts 90 days iirc.

Also if you want to enjoy gear for a long time, sorry to tell you this, but you will be replacing your gear at an incredible rate in this game, even at endgame.
