Weekly Caps: Worse than Fatigue

[Arriverderci]

Why in the world people only do FATEs to rush to 50 anyways? Look where it got you in the end? -.- There is other content, just some people choose to just do FATEs>1 class only> End-game. No wonder why people are complaining, they skipped a lot of the content..

Because it's the only efficient way to level.
I didn't rush and look I'm still 46 after over a month in this game, and I barely touched FATE's on my WHM.
They need to buff EXP in dungeons by a long shot. As a DPS, we already know we have to wait FOREVER to enter a dungeon. Parties are = FATE parties. Okay that's fun.

Also what content?
There is no content after your first 50.
We're just re-running the same crap but FATE wise back and forth.

I do other methods before running FATE's. I honestly don't want to take 5 months to level in different ways without FATE so I won't really level anything else till they fixed it. I just wish dungeon EXP was a lot more better.
Do not pin me as a rusher because I am not, but the game was pretty much said by Yoshi, "The game begins at 50."
There is nothing worth going back doing and he skipped everything else early PvE and Sub-class crap to focus on this mundane End-game people have here.
The game has been out over a month, and + some days if we were here Phase 4 and EA. Rushing isn't viable reason to say this anymore.
There is a lack of content, and that's just it.

Then don't FATE grind? Parties are just as good as FATEs, It has been proven from a Japanese Team at Launch getting SCH from 1-42 ( last I checked)

Levequest, You don't always have to party ya know, do some things solo for a bit

Hunting Log, Hunt down those monsters that are sometimes only in 1 spot out of a WHOLE zone to kill for good exp.

Dungeons, there's a good variety of them, if your level 42 you can still do the level 15 ones if you want, There's 15ish Dungeons, plenty of places to go.

Guildleves ( Yes they need to give people a little more exp for this which should come in 2.1): It is another source of exp.

That's fine, just don't complain there isn't content, when clearly there is, just choose not to do it ( which is fine don't), just don't complain.

I wholeheartedly agree with this post.

Far too many people who are grinding at endgame, saying they're burnt out...and at the same time are asking silly questions about the storyline they skipped over, wondering what levequests/guildhests are, think you can't get gold in FATEs as a solo healer, do not know how to finish all the low-level dungeons or haven't even seen all of them, do not have all the useful cross-class skills available for their job, never even tried out any crafts because they're "lame" but then proceed to wonder why they're not making any gil, etc.

Yeah, IMHO, nobody should be listening to these players about anything other than the 5% (tops) of the game they're actually playing.

OR! you know, you can do the other 90% of the game, that some people seemed to jump over and forget about, instead of just doing the same thing over and over on 1 class, just sayin'

There is no content after your first 50...sorry. Fate grinding is the only efficient way to play a 2nd job. That's all there is to do on your first job, which IS the problem.

There isn't. I've done it all, and doing it for another job would be nothing but endless repetition. What's next, will you suggest me to create a new character or something?

Because it's the only efficient way to level.

On my first class I was a FATE beast, when I realize how much exp it was giving me and how fast I got to 37 I stopped doing them a lot ( I still do them only when they are near me).

I been doing the other content so I just don;t sit there FATE grinding my life away, course it's not the most proficient way to level but I am having FUN! I don't understand why people that "Hate" FATE grinding torture themselves just so they can get there first 50 or any 50 for that matter.

I'm leveling at a steady pace and having fun, I still don;t have my first 50 ( but that's because I'm doing other things to level, NOT just FATEs)

I am in no way telling anyone to do what I do, FATE to your heart contents, just while your doing your FATEs and before you complain, please know that there is other way to level up ( whether they be fast or slow they are there).

In accordance to you, doing no FATEs and playing 1 class to 50 ( 46 being what you have now) over 1 month into the game is not rushing. Your just about ready for 2.1 when more end-game content gets pushed through the pipes.

There isn't. I've done it all, and doing it for another job would be nothing but endless repetition

That's how you personally feel about it, in that case I can only suggest you to wait 1 or 2 patches for content to funnel through so you can play your 1 and only job.

He is blinded by the games real problems with his love for it. He doesn't see the glaring problems, the game has a suprisingly small amount of content being that it was refreshed from 1.0(groundwork laid), 50 content should have been their primary concern especially when you make statements like, "The game starts at level 50"

Fate grinding is the only efficient way to play a 2nd job.

"Most efficient" rarely equates to the "most entertaining" way to do things. It's really a self-defeating purpose if you grind through content as quickly as possible just to be able to yell "first!" and end up without content and having deprived yourself of other stuff that would have been more fun, had only you taken the time for it.

Is there some sort of real-world one million dollar prize you win when you run out of content in this game that I haven't been told about? Seriously, what's up with the rushing?

Five, thank you very much. All mostly well-geared, too. And that's only counting DoW/DoM. You do a terrible job at assumptions, man.

Sometimes I do appreciate the myth tombstone cap per a week because it makes me do something else like gathering or eventually crafting. Without a cap there, I would grind the hell out of AK and probably have my +1 in no time and then without nothing to do. But as far as content goes at end game, its just too repetitive and lack variety. I just wished Allowances refreshed much quickly than it currently does.

If they made any other efficient way to level, people would do so. The majority of MMO players even casuals will ALWAYS take the most efficient path(ie AK speed runs or CM runs) towards any goal. You are saying why not just run Wanderer's Palace to get full DL? It's not efficient, and makes no sense. Your point that some people might do other things cause it's more fun is silly, I could sit and grind dungeons to 50 and probably take more than 10 times longer to 50 over someone grinding fates. Would you run a business this way? Would you do any aspect of life this way?....So why would you here?
