    According to lodestone the guy's got 53 monk, every DoH at 50+ and every gatherer at 60+ not much time for reading dialog. Troll thread for sure.

    How did you arrive at that conclusion?
    ARR has a lot of dialouge to read. Crafter and Gatherer quests have a lot of dialouge to read - and depending on how you level them that can take quite some time. Considering his level 53 monk is the highste DoW/DoM he has, getting his miner up to 67 must have been quite painful - his monk only being 53 means that he probably doesnt has access to HW-areas and for sure not to SB, where the nodes for level 50+ or 60+ are found.

    So I can easly see how he "wasted" his 90 days of bonus exp on leveling crafting and gathering job through uneffienct methods, taking a lot of time - and now he feels like he shouldnt have spent that much time on those jobs and focussed on leveling instead. It would be a pretty eloborate prank to slow-level a miner in ARR-areas to 67 just to create a troll thread.

    Either way: One can for sure take their time playing through the mainstory without ever worrying about exp, wether they have the new character bonus or not. Given that you use the right methods for leveling your job in question, leveling is quite quick and easy aswell.
    And at the end of the day its a game - and you should enjoy playing it. So best to figure out what it is you enjoy the most and then find a way to ensure you can focus on that.

    Edit: Just for the record though... in a sense the OP has a point. Leveling gatheres and crafters this much ahead without access to the new areas is indeed silly. But not because of the new character bonus, just because its an extremly uneffecient way of leveling.

    I'm calling it trolling because he said his reason for not being 70 was reading quest dialog, that had nothing to do with it clearly. He chose to spend his time leveling every doh/dol for some reason then he jumped on here making a thread giving bad "advice"

    Taking 90 days to reach level 70 isn't being a 'casual player'.

    That's just straight up not playing the game. Or at least not even attempting to make MSQ progress for over a month.

    Not like the buff matters anyway. Just do a few more quests and you won't know the difference.
