In EQ 2 I'm pretty sure your have enough to level 3 or 4 times, hell the whole AA system is here to make you do those. I won't even try to get in WoW territory, this would become obscene.

If the time required to level a single class is the same in FF14 than in those, then I'm pretty sure most people will be ok with 2 or 3 leveling times of quests...

And to complete that, we need dungeon leveling (need dungeons for all level range), dailies leveling (more varied and interesting leves), public quest leveling (behests that actually make people play them on the go), and some more nicer way to grind (chains, combos, etc.).

Of course SE need to understand than a quest is something where the travel part is negligible before the content part. This step may take some time...
Even if there is enough quests to do 3 classes, that still leaves the rest of your classes in the dirt as far as questing goes. (god forbid they add more with only a small amount of quests.)

Now I understand what your getting at having all these different ways to level that you kind of just do a little of everything, And that Is how I would do it personally... however, you can not assume that is what everyone "Wants" or "Is going to want" to do that.

I guess this is where lines have to be drawn about "How do you rank/level up in ffxiv?" that Square needs to make. Do they make the game have "Options of leveling" If they make it options each one needs to be able to rank you in and of itself for the most part across all ranks... Grinding/Questing/Leves/missions/dungeons... otherwise its not really an option.

Lets say I'm Joe... (Which I'm not but for the sake of argument) As Joe I really enjoy doing quests with parties and solo... as Joe I really don't care for leves too much(for w/e reason that Joe has)... and I'm not too interested in dungeons either ... and party grinding on mobs isn't really my cup of tea it bores me.

Does Square say ok Joe, we are going to make questing a viable way for you to rank either solo or with a party and have other aspects of the game for ranking for those who wish to participate? Or do they say well that is just tough Joe we really want to encourage players to try multiple ways of ranking so after your 3 classes are done your going to have to do something else?

Either direction they take I'm cool with it because I will continue to do party grinds/ quests/ missions/ and dungeons. But at the same time I wouldn't blame Joe if he really just didn't want to play anymore after those 3 classes since questing is what he likes to do and it is now exhausted.
