Can someone explain party play and leveling efficiency?

Don't know how anyone could like this. It was an excruciatingly slow and tedious method. Even at the time i didn't like it that much. It was the quests, story and endgame events that kept me playing, not the leveling experience.

Just a weird thing I really did enjoy. It just set almost every enemy to be it's own boss. I agree it could get very dreary later on, but sometimes I just liked how specific and finite it was. One enemy per pull, one at a time. I liked concentrating my debuffs on one mob, etc.

I will main WHM, no question, I am interested in BLM though as well. Are they viable end-game? They were rarely sought after in XI for parties but everyone loved a capped BLM for dynamis :P

Also thanks to everyone for the replies

I think the only two jobs that aren't actively looked for in endgame are MNK and DRG and even still they get invites. WHMs are a necessity. BLMs are highly sought-after.

Don't feel like you can't solo on CNJ/WHM. Because PvP is planned to be a larger part of this game after 2.0 launch and because they didn't want to punish people playing a support class with inability to solo, CNJ/WHM is more than capable of defending itself.

Honestly, I pretty much soloed to 50 (I've been in three parties so far) and the game is really starting to lose its magic after I spend half a month trying to get a party so I can do a level 25 quest (It kills with Fire). It's really frustrating >.< and the party search feature is useless... I can't even make it work
