The entire point of this thread is to let the devs know, hey this is not okay.

But it's also to find out where the majority opinion lies. I'm still waiting on finding out. Because if the majority of players on FFXIV want to skip 40 levels in a day, levels being the meat of any MMO, then I really don't want to be around. If the majority wants this removed, great, I want to be around.

Make levels pointless in a MMORPG and you simply have a new kind of game. Let's call is MMOAG. Massive Multiplayer Online Adventure Game. In any RPG I have EVER played, leveling was a core mechanic and you couldn't just skip through the levels. I must be crazy, but I still enjoy the progression aspect after a couple decades.
