Yoshida' stance on PL and why it is less than ideal.

And leveling should be quick because unless you really like killing hundreds of the same monster over and over again for hours upon end, you should be able to level up quickly then go do fun stuff rather than get bogged down in boring, mindless exp grinds.

I agree! But skipping ahead by giving players mountains of EXP is not the answer.

The answer is to generate enough content to carry the player from point A to point B so that he's not doing the same thing over and over. Y'know, stuff like adventure.

PLing is a false answer to the issue of tedium. Whatever content was being designed to carry us through to 50 is now quickly becoming useless. It's a short sighted answer to a problem that will only plague them later on, as it did FFXI.

but there is nothing bugged or glitchy about how SE has worked out EXP distribution. It is exactly as they intended it.

You seem to have some insider info that we're all unaware of. Please divulge.
