    ummm...

    I don't know about you, but...

    in FFXI, I grinded my MNK from lvl 1 to 99 in like 3-4 days, and that's between RL stuff going in the way. Would count that like almost 2 days if I play non stop.
    That's less than an hour to lvl 10 soloing, hitting Gusgen Mines till lvl 30 in several hours, Crawler's Nest till lvl 55 several hours, Bosta till lvl 75, and worm party in La Theine abyssea till capped.

    And I capped my H2H skilling to 424 in less than a week, just by hitting hard-checked mobs in abyssea too. Granted, I do that because back then MNK is the easiest job to join Adoulin content.

    Gearing up on the other hand, is a whole different matters. lol

    Yeah you can do that now, not when the game came out. And that is when you should compare the leveling. Use your brain.

    Alright, here's one for you:

    Back in 1.0, capping a class from fresh to cap takes roughly a month and maybe more. 1st 10 levels were soloing on mobs, then I grind with leves for days till I hit around level 20ish. Then I shouted in Uldah for parties, then we're hitting places like spiders, skellies, lala assassins, ants, and so on. Any mob that max 6 level above our current levels. Sometimes when several people left, we had to lower our mob level target, like 4-5 level ahead of us. After lvl 40ish, we do raptors a lot, and about last few levels till capped, we found good spot on most eastern edge of La Noscea where there's these murderous level 50 rats. And getting to that spot is also a challenge since there's like level 60 or 70 giant toad that can kill us in 2 hits.

    And that's when I joined the game after Yoshi took over. Heard it was even worse before with fatigue system.

    How's that, genius?

    Oh... and don't think I don't know that back when XI released, 1 job can take months and I think averagely took like half year to cap it. And with that huge risk of level down by getting your crap beaten flat.

    My post earlier are for comparison against current way of grinding levels, not comparing how each games does with it on their early releases.
