Are we really supposed to grind fates to 50 on sub-classes? No more quests? Alts?

[hamsteak]

Quests are so WoW and they are almost just at boring if not more annoying .... And even dungeon grinding eughhhhh; you do enough of that at 50 now. if they brought exp parties back it would be a nice refreshing change and fix this crappy community. Then we would know who the cramp players are before they reach 40

there are people who grind on mobs in between FATEs on behemoth

There are so many options, how come people still ask this.

I prefer doing Fates for gils/seals. ;3

Because people are getting it in their heads that it is the BEST way. It is speedy, but it isn't like you don't have options. But people want "best" even when best is marginal. If people agreed on a best class, you would see a huge surplus, people would even sit in queues and refuse to play the second best, even if that meant less waiting. Fates are ok, but sometimes they get really frustrating for me when the zerg gets so big that you can't really keep up, there are options, they just aren't necessarily the fastest options.

Yeah, I miss the quests on my alt classes. Not sure why they didn't implement a repeat-quest feature. As it stands, it's just zerging from one Fate to the next in order to level.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

Well Fates also at those lvl increase your points for grand company so you can move up rank and also buy some OK gear through your company little money and exp also you can farm items to sell on Ah to help your Gil supply that people have been QQing about forever and a day. Me personally I have been lvling everything equall and just been enjoying the game

Be careful OP. The White Knights will swarm you telling you that the leveling experience is perfect with zero flaws whatsoever. I've tried addressing the current issues in this thread:

Hunting Log to 10 mixed with levequests. Add in guildhests after 10. Add dungeons after 15. Mix it up and have fun until daily quests are added in. Why do you think you need to spam fates all the time? You don't.

Because guildhests only give a nice reward once, and even by 25, the difference in exp reward from dungeons vs fate'ing is huge and only grows bigger and bigger.

Out of quests.
Guildhests only give a good reward once.
Dungeons require you to deal with attitudes, and role-based long queue times..
Oh, and GC seals only come from fates (as far as leveling methods)

[Princey]

Thank you everyone for your responses. As for guildhests, they only give a good reward once, like the above poster said, so they're no good to do after you've already done them once honestly. As for dungeons, I think they're mostly used for getting gear and the EXP is sort of bad compared to fates and they're long even though I do like doing them.

I guess I'll mix it up between leves, hunting log, dungeons, whatever, and suck it up and just grind fates until they sorta fix this or add more quests or something. The problem could probably be solved with more maps/areas? For example you never run out of quests (hearts) in GW2 or something. With 3 main city areas I probably would only have the capacity to level 3 classes using the quests from those areas.
