Leveling in Heavensward

[Magis]

While i in the process of lvl-ing all classes i start to wonder if in heavensward there will be same amount of time needed to level 50-60 as in vanila 1-50??
If yes then in case someone dont lvl all classes earlier or simply start the game in Heavensward it will be like double work to do, ind if someone start play Heavensward and want all classes bring from 1-60...... :/

If someone play FFXI can share how that looks like in this previous SE mmo? (i know that FFXI got few rxpansions)

FFXI got a level cap increase from Vanilla -> Rise of the Zilart, from 50 to 75. This is where NA players began playing, so we always capped at 75. Every expansion after did not raise the cap until Abyssea came out and pushed it to 99. Correct me if I am wrong?

I really hope it takes a lot...

Else, serious troubles could happen....I mean, when I finished leveling all, many people asked me "So what now?"... And that what now is just.. Gear, gear them all... But even if I'm grinding all their relics (Else I'd get bored, and, hey, need to give soldiery some use!) and also grinding crafters and gatherers stuff, all is always reduced to the same, get gear, get gear...

I'd like to see some progression transformed into leveling and get exp, please, make it so level all my clases to 60 will be eventually a challenge and not just a 3-4 weeks task.

Only thing I dislike a lot so far of FFXIV is that the progression is all entirely based in items and gear, except PvP and the skills+traits, but, sadly, they are not doing it to a big scale and also in PvE... We should apply that cool system to improve and personalize, (Wait, have to put the magic word in bold), personalize our skills and traits even more!

I too am hoping for a long level period, but I am not raising my hopes up.
