    I didn´t read through all this but as far as I got the discussion you look for a possibility to change the way to level/rank-up in FFXIV.

    Sure it´s somehow very boring these days to level/rank-up. Either you do Levequests with a party/solo. Or go and "hunt" (not really sure if you can call it so) some coblyn/doblyn.

    So at the moment SE give us 2 possibilitys to level/rank-up on a fast pace. Good it´s not what most likely most of you know from FFXI (like me ^^) and it shouldn´t be the maximum SE can get out of his figthing and leveling system.

    I mean I would like to push at least 2-3 more jobs to r50 but it´s damn boring. 2 possibilitys to rank up are a bit to less in my opinion. So I agree that they need to implement a much bigger variety of things for us to do and also maybe gain some points or gear from it.

    About the point to increase the actual time for the levequest to reset I´m not certain. A small increase in the time could help but 72 hours is a bit too much in my opinion. Sometimes I feel like it´s too much at once to do but then other days I´m like . . .: Allready done? Fine 36 hours of doing nothing. So not pro and not contra for it ^^. Let´s say I´m undecided yet in this.

    Yeah I really for it...

    I always try to do as much LQ as I can ... but 1 day is not enough

    (Eg. I need to do LQ and then go out to find sum mats for cooking and come back to do other stuffs like fishing or botany

    and I found out that ... oh I need to go to bed )

    duuno if most ppl think the same way but I often stuck on this problem ...

    but it would be good if there is more time to spend on other activities except LQ T T

    I think the point everyone is misisng here is that LQ were made to help casuals, not give them a massive boost. If your in a position that you can't finish every leave every cycle then that is ok because that puts you in teh casucal category and your not required to level as fast as hard core players. If you do all leves on CD your getting pretty close to the fatigued anyway pre 30 so your not really missing much to be at the same level as the hard cores either way. If your casual you should not be worried about falling behind on leves because that is what happens to casuals. Basically your looking for a game were you have a soft cap on xp for less than 10 hours of play a week. I know SE wants XIV to be more casual friendly but I think that asking to reach the "soft" caped on about 10 hours a week is going a little too far. (As for anima, if your casual you can blow anima for every leve and still not go in the hole so that takes time off there.) If you want to play a game where you can finish everything in a couple of hours a week, I dont' think an FF title is what your looking for.

    Granted this all comes down to a difference in opinion, but I think hard core guys that play 40 ish hours a week get to cap out on something in 4-6 ish months. Nothing wrong with casuals capping out in 8+, that is part of the difference, if not then the hardcore guys will get all pissed cause they are not getting rewarded enough for putting in more.

    have no time for anything else such as free roalming/ adventure/ or etc.
    If you can't give any better examples than this, I can't really agree with you. Pretty sad excuses for "anything else" if you ask me.

    and thus, this is why it is so wrong now in this current system!
    It is made to help casual right? but why only hardcore can get full benefit from them ? :P

    I m all for lengthen the leves reset time or just reduce it to have 4 leves per reset. It take too long to finish and now this only benefit hardcore players who had 10 hours per reset, it is not for us casual who play only 3-4 hours per reset at all.

    leves made for casueal, why only hardcore can finish them and take full benefit ?
    If leves are made for us, then let us have enough time to finish it 100% every reset!

    at the moment what else is there to do other than NM/Leve/behest really... i can blow through leves in a few hours... then i have what 30 hrs of waiting. IMO shorter time would be better.. ie 24 hrs. if you cant do em in 24 hours... tough cookies

    @ArtworkGnome, your post above just mention that you could finish them in 6 hours and then have 30 hours of waiting... that mean you are playing this game for 24/7. Thus, leve is not for you, you should just go do something else like free roaming or rare hunting. Leve is made for casual players, and SE state this in so many interview!

    note: altho I don't really believe of how you could finsih 8+8 leves in 6 hours anyway, even hardcore players I know always took around 8-10 hours depend on how long they need to walk/wait, chat, and abort between leves.

    I also usually end up completing all my leves in a few hours, and end up doing SP grind parties for the remaining amount of time. I know everyone says they are supposed to be for casual players, but it's not like the hardcore players should ignore them, we want as much SP as possible in the shortest amount of time. Thus I completely agree with ArtworkGnome, and would love for a 24 hour reset timer. If you can't finish it, then thats that. I don't think we should downgrade the leves to a slower pace, just so the casuals can catch up. Seems unfair to the more hardcore players.

    I'd like to see the original 48 hour timer. Plus, more leve variety. The leves currently are sooo repetitive.
