    Its why I stomached through them and completed them. It says a lot when the "Lore" of the zone or "Tour" is so boring because of its execution that most players couldn't even tell you the names of the areas. Hell most NPCs werent even named after a point it was just "Worried Moogle" or "Angsty Moogle", they didnt even have names :|. The only moogle i remember is Mogleo because he had a THF hat.

    I'm not denying that your strategy of getting through these is good (Move on once you're bored), but they are, by purposeful design, the most potent means to level up in this game by a wide, wide margin. FATEs aren't too bad if you find a good party, and Dungeons, while offering respectable exp, are a devoted time sink. Your best way to level up will be grinding through these quests for quick exp.

    So its not like your suggestion of "Ignore is" is helpful considering the OPs complaint is horrible leveling... your suggestion would only hurt his leveling.

    (admist all my complaining here I would like to point out I think Heavensward touches a Lot of issues I had and aside from very minor issues I enjoy it.)

    Not... really.

    See it depends on the lenght of your playtime. If you're pushing through every day with several hour playtimes, sure, grinding out quest may yield the quickest results. However, if you're stuck with an interrupted rotation where you're not pushing out several quests over and over agian, you're actually going to progress quite quickly doing your daily hunts and roulettes first. Those bonuses are comparable to multiple quest turn-ins.

    My suggestion to them is to not burn out. Take a break from the grind, let the bonuses you get for being patient-yet-diligent pay in dividends for them.

    The Dungeons themselves are fun and will net you good gear (also good practice for endgame mechanics), and I don't think most people here ever touched the Temple Leves. "Slow to a Crawl." Is pretty out of place considering we're barely a week into release at this point. I think excitement and desire for instant-gratification are playing with our concepts of time and value in this case. The game isn't going anywhere - hell, the story mode Alexander isn't even out yet for another week. No point in chugging good wine, I say. Take your time and enjoy.
