Faster leveling N0o0o0o0o0o!

Hyess!! Way to go Yoshi-P!

Eliminate the grind! Not that right now it's that difficult to level now, mind you however I am for streamlining the grinding process across the board for disciples of hand, land, war and magic.

Ok, I'll he honest I wouldn't mind having a longer grind if there was stuff to do other than grind. Right now, there isn't. Everything is at endgame.

That being said, Yoshi-P should create content that is available for all levels, not just end game.
He should also create content that people that are low level and high level can do.

There really is only so far that altruism will take you, there should be a system in place where both the lowbies and the high lvls can benefit equally.

I'm curious about something.

I see people express that sentiment a lot.. "there's not enough content in the lower levels", "everything's at end game".

Have you completed all the lower-level content? Have you done all the quests? Experienced all the storylines? Worked up the ranks of your GC and experienced all that offers? All your class quests?

Begin Aside===
Actually, I just checked your character on lodestone out of curiosity. Unless you have an alt with higher levels, your highest level is 35. If that's the case, then you haven't even reached end-game yet. How could you claim that "all the content" is at a part of the game you haven't experienced at all yet? Hearsay?
===End Aside

I'm going through the game doing all the quests I can find, working up through the GC stuff and so on, and I honestly feel like I'm going too fast to get it all in. There are quests I picked up at their intended level and by the time I get around to doing them, I'm at least a few levels beyond them.

If you're simply not interested in all that, then that's fine. That's your preference. But in that case, you should really be saying "there's not enough content that I'm interested in doing in the lower levels, and all the stuff I want to do is at end game". That would be more truthful than just making the blanket statement that "everything is at end game".. because that simply is not true. Content that you personally aren't interested in is still content.

At the same time, it puts the request for "faster leveling" in a completely different and entirely subjective light. Because really, the problem of "not enough lower level content" only exists for you and others who share your playstyle/preferences. That's not because the game is lacking. It's because you're not interested in it. That's two different things. So, for folks like yourself who perceive the most value at end-game, nothing SE adds that isn't end-game specific would be "enough" for you. You'd likely race past it all, because "everything is at end-game" for you.

For others, there's tons to do and, at least for me, levels go almost too fast to get through all of it that I want to before I've out-leveled it. If this were any other MMO with the standard "one class per character", I'd have to roll an alt to get to experience them at their intended level. I've had to abandon over half my quest log a few times already, just to clear out quests that I was too far beyond for them to be any challenge to me.

So wait? What you're saying is... that unless all I want to do is quest, there is nothing to do? Which is true, I'm glad we agree.

So only if you're interested in questing and nothing else, then there is plenty of content.
Unfortunately, the people who want to do nothing but questing is the minority. Otherwise, this game would be a rousing success.

That being said, no matter which way you paint it there just isn't much for me to do other than questing.

Also, in regards to my play style that you seem to know by merely glancing at my level on the lodestone... I'll have you know that I am not one of those people whom you claim to "race past content" to hit end game. In reality, I have very little interest in end game but I do understand the necessity for a solid end game design. Mind you, I do enjoy questing but that doesn't mean that all I want to do is quest in low-mid level ranges. Believe it or not there is more than just questing a low/mid level range player can do.

The reason I play an MMO is to watch my character grow, to explore the world and lore, and to hopefully meet new people. Currently, those things are unavailable to me because of the current, rather frigid, player base and the game design.

So yes, I do claim that "everything is at end-game" because that is how SE rolls. They have very weak low level and mid level content since they focus on end game so much. This seen in both FFXI and now, FFXIV.

Mind you, I've never understood the mentality of people who berate others for suggesting that there should be more content. I didn't say that they should remove questing.

p.s. Thanks for looking me up on the lodestone though. =D
