A possible compromise between questing vs mob exp party grinding.

[Duelle]

And yes you can dungeon grind, but the point is there needs to be an option for people to camp in a spot and grind mobs out in the open world. A lot of people want this.

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.
