shorten the content timers!

[Delsus]

It's easy for all of you with multiple rank 50's to say "no" or "go grind"

Tell me how did you get multi rank 50's? Levelink PT?

The game is sorely lacking in easy access repeatable content.

I don't want to draw comparisons to other MMO's but their content is by in large built around questing and repeatable content to progress through the game that is on a per character basis.
i.e. In LoTRo,WoW,Rift ect. ect. you have 1 character 1 job. You are presented with content that will progress that character from 1-level cap, w/o delays.
In FF as you're all aware we have 1 character multi jobs progressing on limited content. Currently NPC quests are one time only deals, not repeatable, on multiple jobs. Leves offer ~30-1hr on content every 36 hours. Behests you can do 1 a hour. It leaves a giant void in easy access available content in this MMO.

You say go grind. I have and I will.
It's hard to look at this game that we've been used to playing for a while (since alpha 1 for myself) and think of what these limits mean to new potential players, or when the ps3 version launches. Those people will be brought into this great world, and soon expend all means of progression sans grinding. Thats not how it should be.

If behests are shortend and leve timers greatly reduced like I proposed It still leaves several hours of content void just not 36 hour gaps.

Leve links were the best way to get multiple rank 50s, but there not that great now, leves solo is just as good, the main complaint with ffxiv is that it doesnt have much content which the devs are working on as fast as possible. I do think now leves are based around solo play (ie what Yoshida said about casual during the week and hardcore at the weekends) the cooldown should be dropped at the very least 24hrs so if you only have a few hours to play each day you can get somthing done every day rather than every 1.5 days, I think making it 8hrs like somone said would be a lil broken and they would have to lower completion sp a bit 6.9k for 8 leves is 54k, make that every 8 hours you could be looking into 163k every day, which could make it better than people get partying.

Because if alot of people can get better sp solo they will solo rather than party, they will prefer to solo, which is why solo sp should always be lower than party sp.
