    It is also if you do not have much time. options are key to great game so we must keep options alive. limits and restrictions are not fun. i hope more people understand this.
    you obviously haven't played 11 anytime recently.. there are no LOLJobs anymore.. everyone gets invites because you EXP in Alliances' not parties anymore.. 18 man EXP parties 4tw!

    Also are there really LOLJobs that don't get invites to PT's in 14? I didn't think so.. I invited anyone who wanted to join after I had a Glad/CON and we did just fine.. 3 ARC, 1 MRD, 2 LNC, 1 GLA, 1 CON

    actually i have not. i quit when ff14 dropped. but i know about Asea. i was obviously talking about the 7 years of ff11 grind content. Asea is really new compared to how we use to level.

    In raids all jobs but arch are loljobs. but anyway what does this have to do with the point i was trying to make? Point is not everyone can find a party and not everyone has the time to make a party. So thats were leves and behests come in. the op wondered why people do leves, behests and solo work and i answered. Its because as fast and fun as parting is... its just not the way to go if you dont have time or can not find a party. We all know ff14 has a problem with finding a party.

    Edit: actually now that i think about it the same problem is still in ff11. If you do not have a party you really can not solo rank up even with Asea. Leves and behest give solo players a way to do this.

    I'm the only one that think 32 to 33.5 in 2-2.5 hours is excessive? I can understand that in rank 45+ but @30? I hope you were doing it wrong or something because if that's correct I just lost my faith

    I don't want to rank up too fast nor too slow but this seems that for me.

    Actually thats quite false. I played ffxi for seven years, and had seven, seventy fives all legit. (Legit: No astral burns) I solo'd BLM 1-75 BST 1-75 BLU (mostly)1-70 and SMN. Granted it took me longer, but I did. After ffxi introduced zerg parties (I hate/dislike games with this motto) and nubs getting 75 in less then a week and having no idea how to play due to abusing a broken mechanic (much like ffxiv's old leve's) I quit. Abysea/Astral Burns imo were ffxi's downfall. Hard!

    On Topic, I love small group grinding parties. Leves and Behest although a option and should remain that way, are terribly boring.

    ff11 solo was NOT the best way to rank up. that is a fact. You had one MAB two jobs you could solo level out of 24 jobs. i played for 6 years and have 7 jobs on 75 and i leveled them all (cept BLM) in a party just like everyone esle.

    The point is in FF14 you can rank up almost hassle free with leves and behests solo. there were not many ways to get xp in ff11 solo. In would take 15 times longer were as in FF14 solo is much better. this is the point. Not saying you can not do it but its stupid to do it when that game Asea and parties was the MAIN why to level no way around it.
