RE: WoW and group quests. . .

1) Good luck finding groups to do half of those quests. Really. Odds are, unless you had a leveling partner, half of those quests sat in your journal for a good while before they got done. Don't get me wrong, I loved WoW's quest system for what it was, but, yeah. . .

2) Most of those group quests were soloable, anyway. This is especially true if you were a good player. Or a Death Knight. Or a Warlock. Or a Hunter. Or. . .

Anyways. . . back to how this relates to FFXIV. Do I think this game should switch over to quest-based leveling? No, because I don't think it'd work well in this game. On the other hand, as long as it moves along at a decent clip, I don't really care how my XP bar goes from one end to the other.
