Will we ever have old xp camps back?

[Dimitrias]

What i mean is were you get a group of peaple together and go to a spot someware. Then have someone go out and grab a mob and pull it back to camp, and just xp that way. TBO i liked old xp parties more than these fate parties we have.

Do peaple really prefer to run all over the map from one fate to another, instead of just xp camping like in the old days now?

I heard heavensward is supposed to have tougher enemies in the open world, so that got me wondering if peaple would xp camp again...

[Itseotle]

Nope. Devs already commented on this wayyyyyyy back stating that Open World mob grinding for XP is not how they want people to level.

I'd say so, it's definitely not as mind numbing, and with flying mounts we won't have to run. Just fly up, and auto fly in one direction for a few seconds/minutes.

Step 1: Grab your favorite level 50+ BLM
Step 2: Grab another friend
Step 3: Enter Darkhold with three people
Step 4: Ride the Flare Train through the first room with your massive sack pull.
Step 5: ???
Profit.

Welcome to the new Wolf Camp.

That's exactly what FATE grinding is, only you don't need a full party to do it. FATEs have replaced exp camping, and as someone who played FFXI for seven years, I'm not sad about that at all.

I seem to have misplaced my rose-tinted glasses.

I love that only 2 of the responders to the original poster appear to have even played 1.0 FFXIV. XP camps were a great alternative to levelling, but they were far from the only way to gain xp in 1.0. Instead of instant rejection and negativity, ask yourselves why having more choices is such a bad thing? (But also, understand that this is an entirely rhetorical question)

edit: And I gotta say, although I doubt it, I wonder if people will ever realize that XI and XIV are/were in no meaningful, game mechanic way, EVER related? It'd be nice to see people give up on the "I hated this one thing in XI, so I'm totally against this totally different thing in XIV!"

While the developers may not intend for players to level in the xp camp-type manner, if the mobs in the new areas are indeed "more dangerous than the ones in ARR zones", I would think there's at least the possibility it could be feasible.

I'm also willing to bet that folks looking for ways to cap quickly shall be out and about testing it at the very least! I'm all for any game giving it's players multiple options to grind how they see fit.
