ffxi gameplay was not slow

This. It makes you wonder why do ffxi vets hate leves so much when all we did before was stand in one spot for hours killing the same thing. At least now we get to move with some added variety. >.> lol

No one is really saying FFXI parties were incredibly fun or brilliant. All the opposite, but they were STILL more entertaining than leves, which are perhaps the worst type of content i have ever seen in a mmorpg. Party dynamics were much more relaxing, leveling up was much more important, you always played with other 5 people and the monsters were capable of killing any of you in less than a minute singularly... it's a combination of factors, really.

And yes, when there is more content leves won't be as annoying, but they added sidequests and those are just the same as leves. Wonder what's with that. When will we see engaging content at last?

Yoshi-P leads us to believe we will get some content after the battle mechanics are fixed. So i'm assuming after patch 1.17 since we are getting dungeons(maybe companies?) a patch or two after that. Either way he will need to up the tempo soon since tension is rising out of control from the most supportive base of players.
