    It really depends on how much they add. I had a lot of fun until I hit level 50 and encountered grind and speed runs. I'd like to level some alt jobs, but there's too much leve / fate grinding to see the story quests for those alts.

    Maybe I'll subscribe for a month now and then to play new content.

    uhh how are you going to "see" the story quest for those alt jobs if it's the same toon that has already done the story? You can create a new toon if you want and start over with the story. The Fate/leve grind is there for people that like to keep everything in one toon. It would be next to impossible to level other jobs/classes without them since you run out of quests. If you hate it nobody is forcing you to do it. I for one actually levelled to 50 doing Quests and dungeons. I only did Fates when they are nearby but I never grouped for it. I'm actually one of the few people that hate that fate grinding zerg.

    I've been lvl 50 for awhile now and I'm still as addicted as ever. Having a blast trying to progress through Binding Coil of Bahamut. That place makes Titan HM seem like a walk in the park.. when I'm not there I'm levelling Disciples of the Hand/Land and making money with my lvl 50 LW

    Who says they're talking about the main story? There's also the individual class stories (probably what they're talking about) as well as all the little side story quests in different areas that they may have potentially skipped over.

    Again, how are you going to see those stories if you've already done them with the first time? It's not like they're repeatable. If you haven't yet, then Good! Do them! And like I said, NOBODY IS FORCING YOU to do any fate grinds. They're there if you want to them.

    He specifically said he'd like to level some alt jobs but that there was too much leve/fate grinding, so clearly.... he's not done them already which is why I said those are probably the story quests he's specifically talking about. Please, tell me a good way to level alts aside from sitting in dungeon queues for an hour and just killing random mobs once you've finished all the non-class quests if you don't like leve/fate grinding. :P

    Hunting log, asking if your FC needs help. I got a lot of exp last night helping a FC member do Cutter.

    I was actually trying not to level from 44-45 and ended up doing it in spite of myself. Wanted to finish Darkhold and rank up in GC first, but didn't happen.

    Does the exp from hunting logs get better as you level? I usually finish most, if not all, of those off within the first four levels of opening a new rank. And while helping FC members is a decent way to get some exp on the side it's not really a reliable one. FC members may not always need help and often, when they do, they're looking for a tank/healer type for it so there's those long dungeon queues I was talking about again.

People are so thick. I levelled my alt lancer to 34 without fate grinding coz I needed the ability for my bard lol
    You think I'm thick..... Wow.

    In my original reply to you I was pointing out there there is still story to see on the same character because if you're leveling other jobs (like he said he wanted to) then you still have the story quests for those jobs open. You know, the ones that pop up in your guild every five levels? And I brought this up because you asked how someone could see the story. I was giving options for seeing the story.

    I also never once said I didn't like fate grinding. The guy you replied to first did, but I did not. I don't mind it, but then I'm also ok with sitting in one place and killing mobs until I level because I'm in no hurry and I find it relaxing. I did ask you for alternatives for someone who doesn't like leve/fate grinding once all the quests are done but I guess you missed that just like you've missed every other point I've made and continue to spout "OMG DONT FAET GRIND".

    Hmm well i think the game itself has plenty of content. My main job is level 25, and that's because i'm a slower player but also I've gotten so distracted. The game itself is so much fun and offers me so much to do So i have to agree with Hechicera's point there.

    Though if your looking for new content, the dev team themselves have planned for a major content release every three months if i remember correctly. And 2.1 looks to be a great bit of content.

    But you also have to remember this is still early in the games life. Its only been a bit over a month. Things will come around and be more established soon

    Uh, each class has its own quest line separate from the main scenario ...
