I think this thread is a perfect example of why it is detrimental to be able to level so quickly. I mean, I get that most MMO players have played lots of games by now and don't have the time or patience for leveling. But leveling should be a learning process. And I think that process is diminished by being able to level so quickly and effortlessly.

People are able to level so quickly that new players don't have time to even notice they are missing something and then get berated by other players for it.

For example, it would probably be a good idea for classes to stop advancing their level until they do the class/job quests. Because those quests, at least one of them anyway, forces you to level the cross class before you can advance your job quests.
