Something that's bugging me about the potential level increase

[KingOfAbyss]

Thing is - Yoshi already stated he took the stance of major progression = old content and gear become obsolete or severely gimped. Meaning what happened in XI, which by the way was 75 cap for most of its life already happens in XIV regularly. The only difference is Myth gear (launch i90 gear) was never obsoleted because it's such a standard set of gear they honestly can't obsolete it while myth tomes is our main currency.

With XI it was more of a problem that the change from 75 - 99 was too quick, but necessary because the content they wanted to develop for XI level 75 characters couldn't handle it, even fully merited and decked out.

Thanks, good points Tupsi.

I still feel Yoshi (SE) is pushing things too quickly - the pace at which this game is going after less than a year.. from lvl 50 (real) to imaginary (110)

I never played WoW (hated the graphics), or FFXI, I can't relate.

I am used to old MMOs and Korean ones where Grind was your day, getting one level was an achievement in itself. Then next one was so much of a gap..

That gave plenty of time for DEVs to create, test, and insert properly new content.

Some things being improvised and rushed, do not always give the best outputs (Hunts)

Now it feels like: you play for 2 weeks, doing Main Story: Capped.

In effect, the lower level and lower ilevel content is obsoleted by higher level and higher ilevel content/rewards.

Toally agree. It's just too fast for my taste. Don't worry, I'm following the train nevertheless, else you'll be on the last wagon.

------------------

I understand there is lots of generations playing in here (not to say I am THAT OLD ^^) but the instant gratification, getting high rewards from little input, kills the enjoyment for some.

Casual and Old School - not sure if this game is really getting into the same groove.

*I wonder if all the 'blue bar resting bonus in towns' will apply in a lump sum when the lvl cap will be raised lol

Now - Where's the Ixali Beast Tribes!!!
