I've helped countless people get the mid ranged NM's gear.

Fact is alot of that NM gear can last you way into the 40's if not all the way up to 50.

Leveling is only too fast if people grind in XP parties for 4-6 hours a day and thats more a problem with the player not the game, there will always be people who want to rush to end game.

You will find that in most MMO's mid ranged dungeons and content will be skipped past mainly because people want to be at end game where everyone else is, there is also that peer pressure of people expecting you to level fast and join in aswell, it certainly isn't something new in the world of MMO's.

-As well as me.
-I could get 10 levels in 4 hours, THE HARDEST LEVELS MIND YOU! 40-50, just get a sb party.
-LOL DID ANYONE SKIP FFXIS MID LEVEL CONTENT!?!LOL I did mine while I was leveling, it was a really fun experience!

I don't think it's just the fast leveling but also the access to this gear. Considering low-mid level gear is overpriced(at least in my server) since no one really makes it, it's just not worth it to buy. Also since leves don't give gear that often, and monsters barely ever drop gear, the want of getting low-mid level gear isn't really there.

remember the progression and content options FFXI had at japanese launch, and for the first 6-8 months or so after NA launch?

no?

(that's because it wasn't there)

i know the game is lacking in certain areas and i know it needs more content and needs this and needs that, but it's just weird when people directly compare particular aspects of the game to FFXI, seemingly not realizing this game has only been around for a little over a year, and that it actually took FFXI a lot longer than a year to really get the ball rolling.

ask any of the japanese players and importers about their pre-NA launch experience with FFXI.

Rome wasn't built in a day, neither will FFXIV be.

IMO they should lower the exp needed to levle up by half, BUT also lower the amount of exp you get from a single mob.

That would make it last longer imo

We need capped instances. That would make that lower level gear more popular and make it more fun to get. We also need more short term goals to do while leveling other than gear. In FFXI we had spell scrolls along with getting tele crystals, maps, airship pass, chocobo license and many more things.

I think the reason why people zoom from 1-5o in no time is the combat system and lack of other things to do while leveling more so than the exp curve. You don't need to buff up your character before you get an exp party because as long as you have some healers and a tank you can make short work of large groups of enemies.

but....that would make it the same as now, just with lower numbers.....

What he/she(Kailea) said ^. Lyndis hit it dead on. I also think it might pertain to this thread as well http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Longer-fights Might give reason for many to buff up their lower level classes if the battles were tougher!~ And do those extra things. As I said, I don't think leveling needs to be as slow as FFXI was, but maybe a tad slower.
