Wholeheartedly agree, OP. Questing made the leveling work for the first job, but my second is BORING. Not slow, by any means -- FATE grinding is efficient, if nothing else. But efficiency without fun sort of defeats the purpose of a game. Most other games don't have this issue due to alts letting you repeat the quests... but since this game is about as alt-unfriendly as they come, and actively encourages sticking to one character... well, it should just do better.
