this patch is great for people that have been stuck in there 30's and 40's for the past few months and the higher you go it seems the more exp you can reel in.

However Low Level EXP comes painstakingly slow. battleleves for L10s are fucking joke you cant even do the ones with Grouped mobs solo on one star with the proper gear. sad part is if you cant even do your leve's what are you supposed to do. at L10 that's all you've got for content.

As for why the Hammering on New Guys like a 10 gill Whore. my guess on this is SE thinks all the FFXIV Vets are up there in the levels and that the true new players wont know what they had missed. if i had to start all over there's no way in hell i would touch this game with a 10 malm Poll.
