Heavensward Monster Difficulty /excitement

[Airinya]

They never said anything about scaling experience up with monster difficulty. So if you're thinking that camp/grind parties are going to make a come back, we can break out the "you're gonna be disappointed" image right about now. They're gating access to the expansion zones through the MSQ. What makes you think they are going to create a separate leveling path?

I hate to break it to you, but group grinding was present in FFXIV 1.0. It's not an entirely new leveling path - it'd actually be the return of one that was already established in the game. I won't take your negative Nancy attitude impact the possibilities I'm excited about - nice try though!

Here's a downer Dave thought for you instead. If killing mobs was tweaked to actually reward more reasonable amounts of xp for group grinding, then the primary form of RMT combat leveling (underground teleporting thaumaturge spam) would be empowered to new heights. I doubt SE will implement higher xp for that reason alone.

Of course, SE could just patch out whatever exploit RMT use to teleport underground, but we know that won't happen.
