I worked hard to level to 80 and you're telling me they're just giving away all those XP for free now from the MSQ in Shadowbringers? Seriously? This is totally unfair

Is it unfair that they wanted to have other people catch up that are behind you in story content?
Is it unfair to people like me who generally have just about level 80 in everything on content and before they buffed EXP in any expansion? I've had everything capped every expansion well before it comes to an end and the next is announced, my fiances managed to get full 80's before I did for the first time, and this was BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN. If they want to buff some EXP stuff for others to catch up so I have more people to play the game with, I'm all for it.
Besides, you have a combat class at level 80 already. Your other combat classes get an armoury bonus so they'll level up faster than your first one did by a good bit.
Back in your day? Of the way back time of July if your join date is anything to go by? I had all my combats at max level within 2 months of 5.0 hitting. If others get to the same point with more EXP available than I had, then good for them. It's just more things people can do and fill out more roles.
I've been playing since 2013. I've gotten every class to max level well before the next expansion was revealed every time. It's not hard to level up. Just because you 'leveled slowly' doesn't mean everyone has to trudge through it as well.
Besides, you got boosted EXP from ARR all the way up to the start of 5.0. You really want to go in to things being 'unfair for you'? When you got some boosted EXP, if you didn't outright buy a jump potion?
Low quality bait this time.
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Hopefully these words make you rethink your position... people these days side with billion dollar companies too often.
You are arguing with one of Titanmens 80 accounts...
I was wondering when they would show back up.
Meeh, the MSQ should give enough exp to level to max without interruptions.
And side quests should give enough to level 1-2 other jobs to 80, compared to how it is now where a zone worth of exp gives hardly half a level. Which is quite absurd seeing how long it takes to do. Especially when compared to the exp gained from things you can repeat like dungeons.
Ive seen my fair share of lv 60/70s doing MSQ or keeper to be aware of how poor progression has gotten
what is tc even refering to and why does it matter?
I'm also more the person that thinks it's better to work towards something and earn your reward than getting everything for free. Of course its nice that they want attract new players, but they should keep things fair. This easier making stuff is a bad habit a lot of games followed in the last years. Trying desperate to attract new customers and slapping their current player base in the face while doing so. Of course the lvling can be boring sometimes but its part of the game, why should a new player have it better than every other that already had overcome this hurdle? Why shouldn't new players put the same effort into the game that everyone else has, are they something special?
It's old content. Leveling to 50 shouldn't be a chore in Shadowbringers.
How long did it take to walk up hill in the snow to go to school? I could care less because I'm already level 80. In fact when I did the MSQ it didn't even have xp.
In this quote you're the elephant, the foot/tail is xp, and new players are the mouse. Good job.
There has never been a grind to max level in this game (version 1 is an exception of course because there was only leves to level up). There always been enough MSQ and side quests to level up without needing to repeat the same activity twice.
Its sounds like you didn't enjoy your leveling/MSQ experience though otherwise you wouldn't be complaining it took too long... You would be complaining that it's over too soon :p
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. :/
