I don't know why modern games have to be all "endgame, endgame, endgame." I played FFXI for 2.5 years starting in like 2010, so far behind, it was like forget about "endgame" but I loved that game because I enjoyed doing all the things including leveling up. I wish I could do that with FFXIV. Leveling from 1-60 will probably only take a couple of days but no let's cut that time in half. It's no wonder that "hardcores" complain about "casuals" wanting things "handed to them."

Some of us "casuals" do NOT want stuff handed to us, SE. Please don't deny us the full leveling experience.
