Once you get to level x0, the content stops giving out EXP and you are instead supposed to find better and better equipment (mostly through exchanging Allagan tomestones). When the next expansion comes out, though, limits on earning and exchanging tomestones are removed, to let players catch up quickly. Unfortunately removing the tomestone grind also removes the sense of progression, without removing the requirement to sit through another fourty hours of questing, so the lack of progression both in character and in plot is a common complaint.

Dynamis, the data center you are on, is relatively new. If you are having trouble finding a party, you can try using the Party Finder, or travelling to another Data Center.
