Ya my issue was that I came from a very PvP centric mmo gaming style the likes of ncsoft games in the past. Basically get the highest level and best gear at all costs as quickly as possible. The ff story was good cinematics are too notch too although couldn't watch most of the videos from people pushing through the instance. Just finished my 50 and looking to gear up from poetics grind. Sad to say I had enough for my weapon from 3hrs worth of titan hm. I would have thought things would be harder but seems more WoW'ish. Lineage 2, as an example, high 70's level grind was 1% for 6hours of mob killing. So ff is kind of a joke ATM.
