why i quit before reaching endgame (feedback from a new player)

Yeah, having an exp party for 3 hours and only getting like half a level was so much better =/

75 levels was the cap for years, you only had to level once. But why are we talking about leveling? point is ffxi told a lot of story, without needing 700 quests to get to any specific content you were aiming for.

and in ffxiv, that 700 quests is soon likely to be 850-900 quests in a month. They can easily change experience gain to adapt, but story is not easily made faster for newer players.

Oh no, no you didn't just have to level, once, I remember my first job to 75 was a PLD, a lot of times people loved my PLD leveling up over a Ninja tank though some would prefer NIN, then I hit 75, all of a sudden for merit points people didn't want PLD tanks anymore, they always wanted NINs! So I leveled up RDM and SAM just so I would be able to freaking get merit points. Then I level'd up monk cause that was one of the only damage deals people wanted for salvage
