shorten the content timers!

It needs to either be reduced in how long it takes to reset OR it needs to be 8 per city per reset, which would give you 24 total over 36 hours. Either way, it needs to be done.

FFXI is a bad game, stop telling people to grind because you fapped to your mithra in a corner while it pulled the same crab to you 50,000 times.

First, no it doesn't NEED to be done. If you had 24 leves to do within 36 hours, that's all people would need do to get to 50 and they would get there in under a week. It's not just about getting 50, it's about the journey along the way. Partying with friends, having fun, getting together, killing NMs.

What you are proposing would make it useless for people to even buy new gear on the way up because they're leveling SO FAST that it's somewhat pointless.

Also, while I don't exactly advocate grinding for long periods of time, since I tend to get bored within a couple hours, your opinion of FFXI is simply opinion. Also, grinding mobs in FFXI and mithra have literally nothing to do with each other, so don't act as if they like staring at Mithra any more than you do simply because they like grind XP parties. It was a style of gameplay. Although not a style that you are willing to accept, nor is it something that should be forced upon you, it is still a viable option in this game and actually fun when you get in a party with your friends. Yes, improvements should be made in the future to balance different types of playing for everyone, but you seem to forget that Leves have been taken from the center light as the main way of leveling. Grind parties aren't the only way, but they help.

What I do:
If my LS is putting together a grind party, sure I'll go with them. Do that for a couple hours, then get tired of it so I leave.
I check to see if the leve-timer has reset. It has, so I spend a couple of hours using up my Levels for the day and 1/2. Maybe not even using all of them. During this time, I can probably do 2 Behests for a bit of extra XP. With that, I've gone from 32-37 easily within the last week since the chances to leves have been introduced.

AND, I'm sorry to say, but that's playing extremely casually. Half of this last week I've been sitting in the city just talking to LS members for fun and helping them do the Summer Event. I've even seen people in my LS in the 45+ level range leveling up much faster too.

You're right, the way other games do it where you pick up 2500 quests to kill 20 of the same crabs with no one to talk to is vastly superior.
