Make quests repeatable.

So far I've skipped all but main story and class/job quests.

I constantly get gold medals for FATES w/o AOE, and w/o a group, not sure what you're doing wrong.
Guildhests, haven't done any, too busy getting xp through other avenues.
Leves might not bring in ZOMG experience, but you get a daily allowance. They aren't worthless unless you craft, they are just more worthwile for crafting classes.
I've gotten more than 2 levels from hunting logs. Heck, the last two mobs in my acn rank 3 netted me 1/2 a level.
Dungeons, the wait will go down as they continue to improve infrastructure.

Clearly you are doing it wrong, or are simply too impatient.

Elitism being spewed

I cant get a hit on any mob in a fate before its dead w/o aoe, I dont know what dead server or non peak hours you play on. Seriously its clear all you do is fate grind and because Im not into boring ass fate grinding and want a legitimate way to level Im doing it wrong. Seriously dude how big of a douche are you to think that way?

FATE contribution is so easy to get gold as a Gladiator. He's not doing it wrong, it's just stupidly easy for us. Hit flash twice and we have gold contribution. Yes, it really IS that easy. Don't deny it.
