Leves should be removed or atleast downplayed for overall gameplay?

[Rowyne]

but yet the only reason im refering to partying as the back bone is back to the first post you need a reason to go to different areas the game NEEDS to push u to diff area or thiers no reward

I agree, this game has a serious lack of progression. But how is party grinding the only way to facilitate that progression?

This issue is addressed in http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...e-Zone-Long-OP

Here you'll find that the progression issue is a complex problem caused by poor leve design, random monster placement, lack of subzone variety, and little incentive to send players to high-level areas like Coerthas and Mor Dhona.

Even if we strip everything down to pure party grinding, it will not fix the progression issue.
