Please do something about the Skill Points!

I agree with the OP, the point is that grinding raptors is BORING AS HELL. There's no challenge in it, it's extremely easy and fast.
If I have to grind for hours I'd rather do something engaging, not battles that make me sleepy, so I'm looking for something a bit harder and battles a bit longer that require the use of some skill, not just Multishot. But if those battles are giving me less sp then it's really pointless.
I've never comared FFXIV to XI, but in this case FFXI grind was fun, it required a good party, the use of a lot of skills and the average time it took to kill a mob was fine. The levelling process was too slow (at least when I used to play) but you had fun while grinding and you had a glimpse of the role of your class.

I have to say, I think guildleves grind was more fun than raptors, at least we had to do something different in every leve (necrologos, defending, etc) it got boring because of the Broken Water thing.

I totally agree reward things that are more challenge and engaging not less like it is now, while I haven't made it that far I already see it being easier to grind mobs that give lower SP's compared to tougher mobs that give only slightly more since you can kill the lower ones faster and make more SP per hour.

It just isn't any fun and I also agree grinding in XI was fun for me, while when whitegate areas came into the fold it did get a bit easy mode but before that it was quite challenging it doesn't need to be to that extreme as it was theres a good balance to be had and XIV certainly doesn't have it. If XI's grinding was anything like this I wouldn't have played it for the years that I did.

Again its not about wanting XI here but its about wanting a challenge and at LEAST being rewarded on a equal level not a less one.
