Just remove leveling altogether if it's such a hindrance.

If they don't change this in some capacity at least. Final Fantasy XIV is going to have a hard time succeeding if they can't push content out at a fast pace every month. Leveling is boring as hell, and there is literally no reason to do any content under level 50 unless it's for story purposes. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect it but I find the results of that poll appalling. I don't understand how anyone could say this speed is just fine or too slow.

I think the main problem with any poll is that you can basically ask "does problem C apply to you" [leveling rate] and if all A through Z, except C, apply, you answer "everything's fine here, sir," and we pass on.

There aren't nearly that many problems with leveling, but it annoys me that people would use a poll as proof that the system is just fine. One part of it is more good than bad according to a majority of the player base. That doesn't make it immaculate.
