    Just out of curiosity, when was the last time you played? If it was recently, you must have a vastly different experience than myself. Leves are pretty decent up until about 25. Beyond that, it's incredibly easy to find a party or make one (I have only logged in once in the last week when someone wasn't at least shouting for a 30-35 party and a 40-50 party). Quests (when you first start) are quite plentiful now and grant respectable exp. From what I have heard when speaking to newer players, you can virtually level up just on quests for the first 20 levels on your first job.

    I play almost every day, my initial point isn't about the leveling system not being viable. But more to do with the fact that it has no real depth or story elements. It's just a repeatable system which is boring to most players. I agree that levequests provide a generous amount of experience.

    I'm sorry, I was a bit unclear. What I meant to say was that, yes, you do start with Leves, but SE has done a serviceable job introducing a variety of ways to level into the game - especially on the first class. I didn't even mention how Toto-rak and the level 15 dungeons, when played at level, are supposedly quite spectacularly exp (unfortunately, I haven't tried this yet myself). The point is, I think it's unfair to claim that Leves are the only way to level. As far as I can tell, it's not even the best way to level.
