    Nothing in slaughtering the same basic enemy for months will teach a player anything about how to tackle actual events. That's learned by trial and error in the actual events.

    As it's been said, there's no difficulty in leveling. It's just an arbitrary hurdle.

    But there enlies the beauty of XIV's unspoken motto: "Easy to start, difficult to master."

    It's easy to get a class or two to 50 and have fun with friends, but it's going to take dedication and some serious grinding to get the crafts, gathering classes and materia to have the best HQ tier IV materia-maxed gear.

    More casual players get to just play while those with more time get to min-max to their heart's content without ever stepping on each other's toes. The system is fine as is.

    The Problem is simple: If you are done with all Classes in like 3-4 Month, what are you going to do? The lack of content is the Problem.. there is Stuff you still can do if you hit the Levelcap, but its barely enough to keep you busy. Im not complaining at all, i love this Game but this EXP-Boost was a bit too much.

    Has nothing to do with getting more EXP, than pre-patch. That would be balancing of more Mobs/Areas/Low level Content for SP. The amount of EXP you get has actually nothing to do with this.

    Which basically changed to "Easy to start, Easy to Master".

    Yeah right.. the only Things existing in this Game is Ifrit?! Dont joke yourself by trying to get vague arguments.

    hated mobs gave less sp/exp than guildleve mobs
    Exactly. So why did the EXP double'd at in leves then? Surely fixed? Noone is seriously complaining about the EXP-Chains.. those are great. <_< Its the Leves.. its the same way it was pre-1.18 when ppl were complaining how ppl exploit with leves.. its the same way again. Thats the point.. not the regular SP.
