As far as quests go, I don't think they want us to be fully leveling by quests. FFXI wasn't a quest based game where basically quest served as a function for fame or for certain items. SO for them to even offer exp/sp for quests I think is a big step for SE. While they will add more quests, I don't think we'll ever level up on quests past the earlier levels, the sp cost (soon to be exp) is so high for levels part 40 that no quest can give enough sp/exp to be comparable to leveling with levequests or grinding. Levequests are still better if you can link them with a group of 4 people (light party). Grinding is getting better.
