People stay in ul dah now, because thats where the majority of the player base has agreeed to stay. Its not so much that leves in ul da are that much better, but if you want consistent behest groups, and to be where most people do leves, ul dah is the place where everyone else is.
Ideally, you would move around looking for best exp/monsters most suited to your playstyle, but they killed exping outside of leves/behest.
Heck, if they had higher leves/behests people would probably have went to coerthas, but alas they do not. Back before the sp change people would go all over, into deep dunegeons and far zones, chasing good exp, and trying to avoid other peoples camps, But there were more people back then, and an sp system that rewarded you more for fighting harder stuff.
actually the leves at broken water are the best leves for sp. name a leve in limsa or grid that gets that same or even close to dunes or reveries when linked and aspected. the toad one in iron lake area is decent, but not even in the same category sp wise. yes, limsa does have inferno and verdure for the r30 areas and grid has moons mistress, but most i know do dunes, reveries, wills, levin, verdure, and inferno. they do so because they are the biggest sp leves all the way to r50.
