Is leveling dead on every server?

It seems no one is doing fates any more even in corthas there is maybe 10-15 during prime time and dungeon ques are forever long.

I think the FATE system was made to "supplement" the levelling.. you weren't supposed to grind on it.. that's why they made the rewards in dungeons much higher, to encourage people to go there.. it took me a few months to get my first 75 in FFXI back in 2007 the levelling in this game is ridiculous in comparison so i weep for you that it takes you more than 2 days :P

on a personal note i feel fate grinding is the reason for so many people not knowing how to play their jobs in endgame.. going through low level dungeons you learn your rotations and skills rather than soe spamming to 50 then getting there and thinking.. errrrmm what do now?

i agree the queue times are long.. but i had no problem getting my ninja to 50 through dungeons and the occasional fate.. just takes a little patience

I would have to disagree with this. The rotations for most of the classes are pretty easy. Players could easily go through their rotation multiple times on boss fates. Just because a player levels up faster does not correlate to he/she not knowing their class.

A lot of players suck at using damage buffs & dots.
There's little incentive to use those things in a FATE zerg, so a lot of people don't really get a feel for them if they level up that way.

Perhaps, although that does not make a player bad at their class/job because they do not use them every time they are off CD while leveling. A person could just as well do the same in a dungeon, leve quest, or heist. Just seems to be an overly broad generalization.
