More Open World Content / Conquest

[Calevr]

Recently, I have been trying out different methods of levelling on lower level Jobs, which I rather enjoyed. This ranged from Experience Chains (mob killing), FATEs, Beast Tribe Quests, Guildhests, The Hunt and Battlecraft Leves. Some of these had first time completion rewards that provided more experience points. However, I was saddened to find that all except from FATEs and Guildhests (Instance) I couldn't find a party to enjoy doing this content with. There seems to be little reward (or perhaps low enjoyment) to entice players to do these which I think is a missed opportunity. I think now, especially with new players starting ARR, it would be nice to see more variety in Battlecraft Leves that rewarded better experience and some new additionally designed for parties of three or four. How about seeing improvements to the system of Levequests from either removing or seperating the allowance for DoW/DoL classes, and/or making 'Leve Linking' easier for players to join in with others in the middle of their duties?

Personally, I think an increase to the experience reward rate for The Hunts, Guildhests and overworld mobs (lv1-79) would also be nice! Any thoughts?

I would love more open world content. It would be amazing to see the world used. It lost a lot with ARR even though I like the game it is now becoming stale to me.

Campaign was so much fun I had hours enjoying it. The City states all tallying up at the end of the week was really cool.

I love FFXIV but it is not a patch on XI for open world and atmosphere. Fates are so bad the monsters are poor in the world they just don't seem to do anything.

My buddy just made an alt on a preferred world and hit 45 before Sastasha. We don't need more exp, but they could focus on alternate rewards.
In general though, the devs take the stance of "it's old content why touch it?" So I think we're more likely to see new content than tweaked old stuff.

I appreciate this. I think the speed of levelling in the first 30-40 levels ain't too bad outside of dungeons, but it does drop off quite dramatically from then on. Although FATEs are not horrible in later levels, there is only so much one can take repeating them over again and dungeons in a week. Therefore, more variety of new and existing content would be good.
