    Daily quests are a pacing mechanism. The problem is that it works best for things that don't involve the leveling process.

    Instead they use it as a pacing mechanism for leveling. Well, that combined with fatigue. The alternative is camping mobs for hours on end without moving, which I don't want to see again if I can avoid it.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

I'm just not sure what else you expect the game to do. You're offered multiple zones where you can level. You're limited as to the amount of leves you can do at a each location. Do you really want more restrictions in place? Would you prefer a game with more linear progression? I don't remember that being too popular in FFXIII.

    This is always going to be a problem, its not only maps you see it with either, for example, you see it with equipment too. Everyone wants to have the best equipment available to their class, so everyone wears the same equipment. Then everyone complains that there's no variation and everyone looks the same but these same people will still go out to find the same equipment that everyone else wears because its what everyone else wears.

    How are you finding your parties in FFXIV? I see very few in the search, linkshell parties seem to be more popular. Try suggesting to the party that you go somewhere else for a change, I'm sure your not the only one sick of being in the same zone doing the same leves all the time. Maybe you don't get quite as much SP as if you stay at the same usual leves but what would you rather do? Have more SP repeating the same thing over and over again or less SP but have the diversity of experiencing different locations and different leves?
    My argument was that FFXIV doesn't progress you through different zones. I've said this a hundred times now and you still argue that its my fault...no its not, the game doesn't progress you through different zones. Its progression sucks. Its "different zones" are just different areas within a region, its horrible and its horrible and this isn't going to change no matter what any more.

    If you stick solely to leves, yes. You can stay in one area if you choose to. Even then, areas such as Nanawa Mines, Cassiopia Hollow and Muy-Tuy Cellars have a different look to them from the landscape above ground.

    Story missions take to to different zones.
    Quests take you to different zones.
    Grind parties can take you to different zones.
    NM hunts take you to different zones.

    You said on the first page of this thread that your one wish would be to remove guildleves but if you're never being made to progress through different zones, it looks like they're all you're doing.

    If I had my one pick, I would put Dragoon into XIV (including my lovely wyvern, complete with personalized armor) and include Jump, High Jump, Superjump, as well as Pentathrust and some badass lances!!!

    Leves that are actually fun enough that you want to do them because of the story, not like dunes where you do it because you want the epic sp. I bet very very few people can actually tell me the story behind any of the leves in this game.

    The stories are fine and fake and they are cool the first time through but get boring afterwards. How many pages from the necrologos can be stolen and dispersed all across Eorzea? so lame if you ask me.

    Agreed, the first time I ran through and did dunes I was pumped, then after about 10 runs It hit me that I was doing the same boring thing, over and over, granted it happens in other games, but at least they counter that by making the drops worth while..Whats the point of hitting 50.. buffalo is easily the hardest NM at the given time, and even he is a cake walk now... I hope these dungeons make me crap my pants.. like AV's reincarnation..
