As you said, the best way to level up is FATE running. Going from 1 - 50 again won't do much good to learn the class. This is just a pointless grind. Don't get me wrong, I dislike people that level through FATES and don't learn their class mechanics well when using DF for things. Is it "fair" to learn how to play the class at other's expense? Depends on the people you group with as some are friendly and some are down right hostile. However, as I do use the DF, I acknowledge I take a gamble on who ever it groups me with.
I am hoping with the new dungeon xp buff, it will be worth going through the dungeons instead of FATE so better players come out of it. But only time will tell, because it is hard to beat the xp from FATE and you can run dungeons all day and not learn your job too. I just feel there is a higher chance of learning by setting them in a group scenario as opposed to FATEs.
