Leveling atm is absurdly fast atm if anything they need to nerf it. While Soloing is alot slower... it is still easily a level a night if you spend 2-3hrs which is a very good leveling pace in a mmo with 50 levels.


As for the new and Old. New will vastly outnumber the old (if not the game has bigger problems then a balance issue with the current subcount). It will be just like NA release of XI, PS3 EU/NA launch, and Xbox launch. In each of these new members entered with a ton of capped people, and everything worked out well.

SE needs to do what they did with each of these other releases. Release new classes with them. So PS3 release = release of arcanist and musketeer. Now old people will be leveling with the new... problem solved.
I am level 36 and I have yet to join a party. I have yet to see how anyone would even go about getting a party with no search tools. I see big groups of people killing stuff sometimes when doing leves, but they usually in the same linkshell.

I would argue that leveling is super slow. There is no tools for making parties and unless you have some big group of friends playing FFXIV you really have no choice but to solo. Leveling definitely isn't fine. I would love to join a party and get more then 6k an hour which i get solo from leves. My linkshell usually has nobody on it most of the time or maybe 1 or 2 people if lucky to catch someone on, so that really isn't an option to level fast.

All the people that have like a bunch of level 50 jobs probably did it with a set group or a linkshell. I find it hard that you would solo all of that. I been playing since the launch of the game and still haven't yet to get anything to 50.
