Power-leveling is absolutely BROKEN

Wrong. In ffxi you can get Lv1 to Lv95 in under 1 day. It is called Abyssea party

Everyone seems to forget that fact, and it is 100x easier to do in ffxi than in ffxiv

It's not that people are forgetting, it's that Abyssea is a much newer concept. Anyone who played for 4-5 years most likely didn't experience it (myself included). Most of us remember the FFXI with a challenging level curve. It could take casuals a year or more to get their first 75.

And to throw my opinion out there on the table, I don't necessarily want to see a climb that steep again. But I'd like to see it take months, not days. The steeper curve is one reason I liked Final Fantasy MMOs, and Aion (I honestly think Aion had the level curve just about right, before they went crazy with reductions and double exp weekends). Now that's missing, there's one less thing that makes this game rewarding to me.

sry if it is annoying you, but browsing with slow Internet connection with stupid phone is too hard. -.-

Okay, I'll give you that one. Didn't mean to be rude. It was amusing irony, though.
