As you said, the entire point of it giving you that xp is to encourage you to do content you would not otherwise do. The devs want you to do all the content most especially the low level dungeons, whether you like it or not. This is also why the 4 man trials (Garuda/Titan/Ifrit) are included.

You might not know it, but the devs always always always lean towards supporting new players. That’s why the final 2 ARR dungeons have unskippable cutscenes now, and the xp rewards are quite huge compared to before.



2 things:
1) That is exactly the situation the devs do not want. They want everyone, including 80s, to run low level content.

2) You know about tomestones, right? It says you joined in August so I understand if not since we are at end of expansion cycle, but tomestones will are a big part of keeping content played and for endgame progression.
Except as others have shown, all you're doing is stopping the people who would que for things above 60. So instead of people just not que'ing for sub 60 stuff, you have people not que'ing at all.

In terms of tomestomes:
80 capped stones are a joke to cap and using leveling for it is a waste.

As far as condescending about my join date: this is specifically an alt account I use to avoid creepers. I've been playing since 2.0 beta for ARR and currently sit with all jobs at 80 / savages complete / working on ultimate.

I see you joined a year after launch, so it's ok to assume you know less than me, right?
