Double EXP periods. {Can I have it?}

[Asiaine]

It only takes a few days of casual/light play without a PL to get a DoW/DoM job to 50.
It also only takes a day or two to get a DoH job to 50 (if you have some planning, gil, and rested/seals bonus).

There really is not a need for more XP.

There is one giant impact of having more XP however... items will be spiritbonded quicker, resulting in materia floods on the weekends. Not sure this is a good thing for the economy.

But if they removed the impact of XP on Spiritbonding, then the only 'real' benefit is that a few people who want to level a job they have no interest in will be able to do it a few hours quicker. Not sure that is sufficient reason to introduce this mechanic.

Put another way: The benefit of Double XP is so small, it may not be worth implementing.

(Also, if someone is having trouble levelling their job with the XP rate as it is, they might want to seek out suggestions/help/advice on how to better approach this world. If the problem is they do not want to actually 'play' and just want to get 50, then perhaps they can seek out PLers or other 'people' who hang out near Cedarwood and see if they can help >.>).

Wtf are you smoking? A few days of casual playing to 50 with no PL?

Do people forget that new players (wait for it, this is gonna blow your mind....) are new and therefore have to start from the bottom? No gil, no surplus of leves, no teleports unlocked, no chocobo/goobbue, no rested bonus, no gear, and obviously no abilities from other classes to help them with the leveling process.

No shit people already playing don't need extra exp and have a very easy time exping. Who's the genius that figured out that having gil/gear/easy transportation and a stockpile of leves/rested exp makes for a fast trip to 50?

She is right ya know. Though, I would say a little longer than a few days.

I've gotten my Black Mage from like 30-50 in a matter of days, but that was me dedicating all of my time within those few days to levelling. There was nothing "casual" about my playing during that time. I sank literally 8+ hours a day levelling the job. This community just loves hyperboles.

That's not even a long time it takes longer in other mmo's to get those lvls.

This isn't "other MMOs". This is Final Fantasy XIV.

Who cares its still not a long time. 3-4 days of grinding doesn't count as a long time.

I don't recall ever saying it was a long time. I just helped prove that you can't hit 1-50 after a few days of casual play without a power level.

What "other" mmos have you been playing? WoW you can go 1-85 in a 3-4 days. the new TERA you can go 1-60 in 3 days. Im sure FFXIV is faster than XI and other J/Kmmo, but not too many people even care about those other j/kmmo. they suck.

New players aren't going to skyrocket to 50 in 3-4 without PL or a group of like-level players. Please, make a knew character then go solo a class to 50, then come back and tell us how long it took you. You really wouldnt even go that fast with a like-level group, only with a PL.
