Fate Grinding

[KyteStones]

This is not a rant or rave, just more of an observation..

Before 2.1, before the changes to the FATE system's difficulty depending on how many people int he area are doing the FATEs, and the Roulette system with EXP bonuses, I would dedicate 2 day, Friday and Saturday leveling alts so I could be "future proof" with the new classes out. It would usually take 36 to 42 hours of constant fate grinding to achieve 1 to 50 for me at least. I was able to get 4 out of the 8 classes to 50 with relative ease. As much as i found it cheap, it was easy for me to just focus at the task at hand and get what I wanted out of it.

After 2.1 with all the changes I took the PLD and the WAR to 50. Tried my all nighter method and well, 1 to 37 was all i was able to obtain, and then through out the week when i returned from doing EG on my main class, it was just a slow, energy draining grind. Took about 8 days for the WAR and after doing the roulette with my PLD only took 6.

Now I'm not complaining, i just have to take the CNJ and the LNC up to 50 now, and those classes, woa, boring to play for me but again I want to be "future proof".

It seems to me that even with the Roulette system in place, they seemed to want us to level alts pre 2.1 and now with 2.1 they want us to focus on a main class and not worry about alts anymore.

This was just my opinion and theory. Thoughts? Advice on faster leveling to finish my last 2 classes?
