I'm sorry, but FFXIV shouldn't have to take on level grinding just because it's an MMO and they can't think of any other way to go about it. I feel this is one of the biggest drawbacks to the entire game, and it certainly keeps me from playing.

OP, thank you. That was very well said!
I agree with this ^

be nice if everyone was technically level 1 at all times...just only got stats from gear.

maybe learn abilities from gear like in FFT and FF9....just have to be the correct job to equip the item
