I guess after shifting gears recently, after meeting the rank requirements for story or to engage a quest, I don't see the same urge to rank up. And I don't want to rank up my favorite adventuring classes so high that I can't use them to enjoy lower level content when it gets released.

I admit, a change in perception and not worrying about "Oh! I gotta do my 8 leves and 8 local leves before reset" to maximize SP is a big relief and I feel like I'm enjoying the game more.
