I'm in definite agreement with the OP. I don't really mind the normal pace of leveling up, but getting your second class to a higher level is really painful. In general, I would say that all sources of exp besides FATEs need to be buffed and FATES need to be toned down a bit. I think FATEs should be fun "bonus exp" that you get while running from place to place... not something that you farm for hours on end. That's just me though.
