XP is a bit fast I will agree there. But I don't get how you can say you don't like the grind, but once you are 50 all you do it grind to get materia, and on the same mobs over and over and over. LOL its the same thing you either grind to get 50 or grind to break gear and gain none of the XP from a kill. I have NP with a longer LVIng process, but PPL like it fast so that's the way it will stay.
