Heavensward Leveling... aka Northern Thanalan Leveling

[Priya]

Again this pulling of real life card on a game forums, it is a disgrace
Just because they are able to grind and willing to put more time into the game doesn't mean they don't have life outside of the game

Seriously. Not to mention you can have a 9-5 job, get a full night's sleep everyday, AND have gone out of town on vacation since launch and still have a level 60, upgraded gear, read the entire story, and have an alt in the mid 50s. Leveling your first class isn't exactly rocket surgery. Especially for anyone who is MMO vetted.


This is also probably the only MMO I've played where people sit around debating and passing judgment on which parts of it are deemed acceptably enjoyable. Some people like leveling, some hate it, and some just like having more than one class to play at cap. Regardless, something is very wrong when the most efficient way to level is by doing the EXACT same thing we did at 2.0 launch.

I just did quest on my main dps. With my alts I will just spam dungeons since they will be tank and healer. Only time I will do fates is if it is a big boss fate or to complete the challenge log for a chunck of exp.

The biggest issue is getting to 51 to do dungeon spam. Unless you want to waste a roulette's worth of law on an alt class, the only option is really to fate grind as no 50 dungeons give experience ...

That's a really slow way to do it. Dungeons are much faster... though I suppose you could FATE in N.T. while you're waiting for a queue to pop.

How is this any better? Last time i was there with a 50+ job the Fate xp was as low as any HW fate. Sure there's more players but am i missing something else?

same xp for lower HP pools. Least effort vs reward thingie

So basically people are ignoring the greater challenge for easier content, not because there is a great disparity in XP gained? Lazy players are lazy players...

When you can knock off a HW A rank faster than a HW fate boss with the same group it needs to be adjusted. Not only for HP pool but experience.
Lazy has nothing to do with it it's time vs reward

Yeah, missing it even though you said it yourself. Two reasons:

1) ARR FATEs are MUCH easier to complete than HW FATEs.
2) More people, faster the FATEs get done = more XP.

That said, dungeon spam is far better. Yet the queue can get long for DPS, so FATEing is a good filler.

Good god that sounds dreadful when the xp curve from 55+ is steep as heck. Dungeons it is.
