A possible compromise between questing vs mob exp party grinding.

There are always dungeon mobs to grind on.

Yeah I agree. this has been mentioned plenty of times before.. It's almost the same concept except you have a time limit and you get goodies at the end. That's a solution to XP parties IMO.

No I did it from my phone it does that for some reason and I don't know how to fix it.

And yes you can dungeon grind, but the point is there can to be an option for people to camp in a spot and grind mobs out in the open world. Some people want this. I was just offering an idea on a way to do it in the open world.

More so for the XI players who miss exp pts

By "a lot" you mean close to one hundred?

The small group that decries anything implemented post-WoW as the doom and gloom of the MMO genre does not = a lot of people.

I know more than just a few who left XIV the first time around because they thought SE had moved beyond the old EQ model of grinding at camp. My buddy, his wife and his two brothers being among them. Hell, my buddy and his wife refused to give the game a second look until Yoshida started talking about quested leveling and FATE.

Valid point. I tend to forget my place and speak for the majority that may not even be the majority, and speak for others when I can only speak for myself :P

I quit shortly after the initial release and came back when the jobs were implemented, so I know what you mean. Then the talk of ARR came up, and I've been hooked ever since. I was in the post alpha testing and I have to say I loved what I saw. I liked the 2.0 alpha better than 1.0...at least as far as gameplay and I can see the potential...I can't wait for beta and the NDA to be lifted. I want to talk about it so bad
