Request for a steeper exp curve on levels

[Feldt]

Leveling up has gotten way too easy.

In the past having a job leveled meant something.

You'd go and focus your character's career in certain job, maybe two if you had the time, and you invested in it. And eventually you'd hit the max level and get all your capped gear... and people would see it, and it'd give them something to look up to.

You'd become known amongst your friends as the healer or the tank or the damage dealer, depending on what your focus was.

But now everyone has pretty much everything leveled thanks to the new and dumb leveling curve. People even level a job to max just for the sake of equipping ifrit drops. And they get there within a week.

Most of the equipment you buy lasts less than a day since you are always qualifying for an upgrade because levels less than an hour to be completed.

You can get from 1 to 50 in just days if you shut your brain off through it.

Whats wrong with taking your time to build your character? Why must people who just started playing be doing endgame content?

Oh your so fricking wrong... especially here "But now everyone has pretty much everything leveled thanks to the new and dumb levelling curve."

Let me enlighten you... this game is for a year and some more time out now, It was more than enough time to bring all the classes to level 50 in first months of gameplay. The only ppl that aren't levelled up to 50 in all theirs glory are ppl who didn't played all this months or ppl that joined recently and theirs max is about lvl 25.

Please SE don't listen to the OP... but more importantly, don't make our lives Hellish because someone wand an Chinese hardcore grind again...

PS: Ah I've almost forgot, those ppl bringing all classes to lvl50 in first months ware ppl who still know what is fatigue. Basically you didn't give a #&@* about it and grind until you get 0% exp from everything.

EDIT: "You can get from 1 to 50 in just days if you shut your brain off through it." -> wrong
EDIT2:

What good is midrange equipment when you can hit level 50 in less than a week?

If that was true, when I've started with my PGL now which was at the level of 25, It would be already at lvl 50 instead of just 31 ages ego... (I believe I've started working on him about more than a week ego)

What? You're saying it was possible to cap all classes in 1 month? You couldn't be more wrong.

Its really sad that the majority of this community (judging from the amount of likes on a initial post) wants the easy way out.. I mean come on in WoW it even takes time to level up.. you can now get every job to 50 in this game in less than a month .. DoW of course.. and DoM

I am in the camp of waiting to see how the the progression through quests for jobs works out, as well as what role classes will ultimately play compared to jobs. This discussion seems a bit premature to me. I have confidence Yoshi-P will make a sound decision on the matter.

I like your logic but it's called "mid game" not end game. Lv 50 is the mid cap. By the time they raise level cap, we will never know how much harder leveling will become.

People need to realize that being max level is not an accomplishment.

Exactly. I remember my first limit break 1 quest still. It didn't take very long to get to lv 50 back then in XI (or was it 45? I can't remember). Took no more than 3 weeks of 3 days a week non stop leveling static. It's the same thing on here, make a static or shout it out to make a pt.

I remember leveling xi, you'd spend days partying. If you were 40 it wasn't something that could become 45 in a few hours, you had to work for a long ass time at it. I miss that. When I hit 75 after 3 years of play, I was like wow, that was long, but I'm finally here. My second 75 I started at 1 and grinded every... single... day... all day every day. Took 3 months. but in XIV, you can get there a whole lot faster. I really hope that 50-75 is a lot longer than 1-50 was.

I loved that too, but back then I had no responsibilities, I was a highschool student and had no job. Games evolve with their fanbase or they are tasked with finding another one. That's way easier said than done.

requesting more contents is better idea I think
