Why did you join the forums just to say you quit several weeks ago?

Is AFK levelling, really more fun than leves? I suggest you play Progress Quest you'll love it.

You say FFXIV has no way of levelling but mention 4 ways doing it, Leves, Behest, Grind or Craft. You could also add gathering into that too.

What is it that you don't like about leves? Personally I like them. I like that it gives a target to focus on rather than just grinding random mobs. Kind of like FoV in FFXI. I'd prefer not to have the 8 leve limit and more variation in leves too.
