So you get ONE wish...

Which is exactly what I said. You choose to stay in the same region doing lower ranked leves and boosting the difficulty rather than travelling to other regions. If you don't want to stay in the same region all the time, don't. You shouldn't need the game to force you into changing to a different zone.

Once again you ignore everything I said and repeat the same comment: let me bold it it might help; I party with people where people congregate to, I am not going to solo leves in Gridania and Limsa Lominsa because no one else hardly ever plays there...its simple. You were saying its not the game's fault, it doesn't encourage this type of behavior. I have told you that it does, it doesn't do anything to move away from this behavior because it doesn't provide you with incentive. I know I can go to Limsa and do leves, its no efficient however since I will most likely be soloing the leves and this is the game's problem not mine and not everyone else (and if the game is giving me 500 SP a pop literally doing Devilet Inside (i.e., R20 Horizon leve) at R37, why should i waste time or anima to run/teleport to Limsa to do something that will most likely give me less SP anyway?). IMO leves stink, they need to remove the difficulty options, make them solo only and make real content.

And at the end of the day, my initial argument had to do with constant progression from zone to zone which FFXI had...3 possible different zones in FFXIV don't fix this.
