Leveling up makes me want to quit.

Funny, I would rather complain about being able to level past 50, while you're trying to get access to Heavensward, instead of the leveling of second classes being tedious. Except for all the DPS classes maybe. I save as many quests and leves as possible for the time I decide to level a DPS class.
I'd say it's all about patience. Make use of the rested XP and the daily bonuses with your second class. Then level your main, enjoy your time in the Gold Saucer or do anything else, while you wait for the bonuses to reset. Sure, overall you're probably going to need longer, but it's way more efficient and wont feel like such a chore.

So for new players it is impossible to be like older players and get everything 50+. I am out of Leve quests. At 0 points. Only get 6 per day that comes back.

Leveling roulette, queues hit up 2 hours. Specific dungeon, even longer so let's not talk about it.

People been telling about Fate, yeah, okay. Where? Quarry Swiftperch / Aleport is empty. Quarrymill is empty, Costa Del Sol is empty. Camp Dragonhead... also empty. Northern Thanalan got some action.

But I bet by time I get there there will be none left.

So how this leveling issue will be fixed?

Sincerely I feel like quitting the game at this point. Been too long I try to get some level on Arcanist for example.

Weird. I got my BRD from 53 to 59 in one day just doing dungeons.

Yeah okay GG. So I am the idiot according to all of you here. Try to level up something new then I'll laugh at you. I dare you to try it. But since you all seem to think your system is perfect then I won't use forums any more to complain. I'll just quit and stop giving my money to Squeenix.

Queue up specific dungeons and do hunting log and fates meanwhile. Bored of fates? Do beastman dailies. Not high enough level? Buy mats and craft glamour crystals for profit. Can't craft glamour crystals? Level DoH/DoL. All whilst queueing. Boom multiple classes leveled at once (or profit made). Saying that it's impossible to get everything to max level is just not true, seeing as I'm currently leveling 4 classes with success.

they should make new quests for leveling. it would at least be new content. why keep the game stale?

good thing your opinion means diddly squat

Oh I agree, there should be new content for levelling. Since HW came out, ARR stuff has been all but forgotten aside from mandatory story quests. Oh and perhaps the EX primals and Coil. But a lot of ARR content lays forgotten.

to be fair, not everyone loves grinding dungeons (myself included) - soo yeah, if you don't like dungeons you are SoL on alt jobs unless you don't mind it take 6-8 weeks to slowly level up doing daily hunts/beast tribes. Battle Leve xp in HW content should be doubled - it is absolutely ridiculous how little xp they are worth. Believe it or not, there are plenty of MMORPG players that like to level via quests, not grinding dungeons...and FF14 leveling beyond the MSQ is pretty crappy if you don't do dungeons (I like to do them once or twice for the story then never touch them again...)

Yeah. I recently finished leveling my white mage, and the only thing that sucked about that was 50-60, (even so, they just buffed the XP from the dungeons, so it doesn't take nearly as much time as it used to).

If you're looking at level 60 as your only milestone, then you're doing it wrong. Leveling is less dreadful when you set smaller daily goals for yourself, such as "Today, i'm going to get to work and get X amount of levels." instead of "I've done all this hard work why am i not level 60 yet???"

But something tells me that you're just here to argue.

[UlricCraft]

I agree with OP.

Playing since day 1, 30min+ queue for DPS, always zero levequests, FATEs are as bad as hunts.

Never gonna level a DPS class again! :'(

[Critical-Limit]

No sympathy, if your first job, you have first time guild hests, dungeons, while queuing? Hunt logs, side quests. A lot of fates are solo-able.

Too much exp and too easy IMO

The funny thing about this is.... this isn't new and hasn't really changed much since ARR was launched. It's the same old problem that was coming up in threads just like this 2 years ago, but it's just new players finding out and complaining about something the community already knows, has accepted that this is just how it is and moved on. DF queues for DPS have always been and will likely always be much longer than tank or healer queues based simply on the number of DPS jobs to tank/healer jobs and the overall number of people playing those jobs.
