I'm back in-game for about two weeks now, and my highest rank is still 14. Why? I spend a lot of time exploring, crafting, goofing around, etc.

I ended up crafting my own gear, and am going to be crafting additional gear going forward (for myself and other lower level/newer players).. However, if I was able to find a good set of gear for my level at a reasonable price, I would have certainly bought them. As it is, I still need jewelry but last time I checked, prices on that was beyond stupid as well.
With guild leve bonuses and the stupid amount of sp you get off quests (got 19,000 off one) you can hit 20 in a few hours pretty dam fast in my opinion heck even a casual can do this
