I feel your pain, and I don't. Yes, it kind of stinks if you specifically leveled that high for it, no, I'm not willing to sacrifice convenience just for the sake of effort and ego someone may have already put it. It's the nature of MMOs. You join later, you have it easier. I first played WoW right around Cata, and I got better items than my girlfriend by doing generic quests, who by that point had played for years and put blood, sweat and tears into getting her epics.

Same on Phantasy Star Universe. I started at the beginning, and had to grind my way to the top. A year or so into it, new players were joining during events and flying up the ranks and four times the EXP I had been getting. Similarly, new players to XIV are going to have it easier - whether it's lower Raise spells, Market Ward searchs, better items that are easier to get, or no Fatigue System hindering them. It's just the nature of the beast.

Anyway, I dig the Dragonmaster Dyne thing, though. I play most MMOs as "Dyne" and everyone always asks, "Hey, Dragonmaster Dyne from Lunar, right?!" ...which in my case is inaccurate, I took the name from Dyne in Skies of Arcadia, but still! Either way, gotta rep the old school, and Lunar and Skies both are good stuff!
