Is 1-20 Too fast?

[Fleur]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree that R1-20 is too fast. I'd like to spend more time at the R1/R10/R20 camps -- it seems a shame to me that we zoom through the first 20 ranks and spend so little time at the camps for those ranks doing those leves and grinding on the mobs. Not to mention having your progress slow down do dramatically after can be discouraging, IMHO. And this is probably a strange thought, but I kind of feel that making R1-20 so easy and quick doesn't really help with the issue of class uniqueness.

I don't think it should take more time overall to hit R50, but I think the curve should be evened out a bit. Just my two cents! ^^

The same effect happened in XI a lot before they fixed the XP Curve there.

1-50 was easy. But as soon as you hit 50 and started going past it XPing was tediously slowed down to drastic levels and as a result a lot of players simply stopped playing that job once they hit 50 and went and leveled the next Flavor of the month job to 50. Once they got all the jobs they thought they liked to 50 and had no other choice they forged past to 75 on their favorite.
