The Problem for New Players

[Jennestia]

They were massively nerfed. Leve mobs give about a quarter of the XP that they did before. I did 4 r1 leves starting at rank 1. I made it just short of rank 4 when I finished... over an hour later. That just doesn't seem right to me.

Funny enough, aside as they say "easy mode" games this is actually correct pacing when compared to other MMOs. Many MMOs out there have xp rates that hit the millions till next level. So going from say, 1-20 in 5 hours with 7 million TNL, is about on par with how low/slow Xp TNL in XIV is.
