There will be new main content to rank up?

Hopefully the 15 to 30 minute respawn timers for open world mobs will get an adjustment as well as the raising the 10 rank diff SP cap. Otherwise we'll all want to gouge our eyes out with spoons by the time we hit 50.

There are also Mobs with Spawntimes around 1-5 Minutes. What i would like to see is, that you can actually pull Mobs to a certain "Camp", just like it was in FFXI. In FFXIV Mobs like to go back at a certain point which makes the "normal" way of SP-Party real crappy. I dont care really about Roaming and its a really nice and fast way to gain SP, but making "normal" SP-Camps would be an Improvment imho.

remember the being able to pull mobs long distances was removed because of them being afraid of the burn parties returning in xiv. the mobs do not chase you to the end of the zone for a camp anymore. they only follow you for a short distance. once again it is what people hope will be put in to replace the leveling now, but nobody knows what, if anything, will actually be put in.

Sadly, my best guess says that nothing will take the place of leves until 1.19 at the earliest.

i hate to say it, but i've been saying the same thing. thank goodness most of my battle classes are capped so it's not going to hurt me as much as alot of other people.

I said that same thing... hahaha
At the end of the day I don't think they want to replace leve SP gains with anything else... Seems like they want a slower 1 through 50 so they can add a bunch of mid level content to satisfy people and don't have to add as much 50+ content

That's all well and good, but if the content isn't in 1.18, they're gonna have a bunch of bored adventurers on their hands at least until there is something to fill the gap left by SP parties. The bottom line is people want to rank up, and they are basically taking away one of the avenues to do so without replacing it immediately (as far as we know) that's not gonna create a good atmosphere IMO.

Agreed... let's hope quest hubs are up to snuff

Also keeping in mind, for us that kept playing since launch, we are always gonna be ahead of the curve, ahead of the content and inevitably get bored faster

i agree, ive been doing as many leves as possible because i fear how hard it will be to lvl after. My only glimmer of hope is that there will enough replay value in these dungeons that i will not need to rank my lower jobs if i dont want.

Thats what im saying. Thats why i said i would like to get "regular" SP-Camps, where you are able to pull the mobs, instead of Roaming. Well, since the Mainfocus wont be Leves anymore, SE have to replace it with something.

I'm sure they will at some point or there will be nobody left in the game. lol You can't just take away the main focus of the game and not replace it. The real questions are 'how quickly will they replace it?' and 'how good of a replacement is it?'

If it takes 'til 1.19 to get a decent replacement, I have a bad feeling about the future of the game given the time between the last decent patch and 1.18. Sad but true.
