So, pretty dead lately....

We have an expansion but now it feels like there's less to do.
PVP - We have 1 new game mode which is a great thing, however, because of restrictions we've kind of lost 2. So instead of 3 varied games we're stuck with 1.

Hi Mr. Nitpick 2015. I didn't say it was bad. End of conversation.

I'm sorry, maybe I misread your tone. But to me, that is you saying that PVP is bad. Gain 1, good, lost 2, bad, now STUCK with 1. Does not exactly sound like a ringing endorsement to me.

Rushed? Give me a friggin break LOL The game practically throws levels at you without even trying. Go do Aery at 55, by the end of it you'll be almost 1/2 to 56. I'm sorry if you're bad at optimally using your time, but that wasn't rushing at all. That was doing every single quest and READING ALL of it. Doing a single dungeon for the story. Doing daily hunts. There was zero rushing involved when hunts give you up towards 300k a day, leveling roulette can give 200k+ and high lvl gives 100k+

I did an Aery run at 55. Being the highest level job at the time (no exp bonus for higher level character), and with no rested bonus, it looks like I would have to run it 4 times about to level up. I did exclude the additional experience for story quest, because obviously not getting that each run.

Congrats, you took a more optimal approach to reach 60 faster. Constantly playing a single job really helps. Me? I find hunts and Fates boring. Like you find crafting and gathering boring. So let's just rip out all 4 of those from the game seeing how we both find them boring, and not count any of those as "content". And Roulettes? I'd rather queue up for dungeons I do want to run, meaning, the new stuff for now, than queuing up for an old dungeon for potentially more exp. When I get done exploring and quests, maybe I will hit up Roulettes again.

So again, congrats. You took a more efficient and quicker path to 60. I took a more leisurely and enjoyable path for me. Well, really still taking that path. Which one of us ran out of things to do? Again, pre-3.0, with everything at 50, I still had stuff to do and find enjoyable. So I doubt being level 60 with 3.0, I would suddenly have nothing to do.
