Request for a steeper exp curve on levels

[Fouluryu]

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.

it feels more like the MMO genre is just blurring tastelessly rather than moving towards a better form. Originally people saw the entire acronym ("MMORPG") and were happy that the roleplaying experience would last them a long time.

Would you have fun if your job/class actually was in for a dynamic, interesting experience that lasted months, or would you still want to just play lots of classes period? It feels like the issue with MMOs these days is that the game can't keep people hooked in one spot like they used to.

I read this like "those pesky kids have no attention span these days"

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 do think the sp needed for the later levels should be increased by a bit, especially when the level cap is raised, but as for overall.. Maybe only a slight tweak; it is pretty fast, and especially the people who have been around since earlier in the games life feel how ridiculously fast it feels now compared to back when.

Again, I'm not saying that I want it back to the old ways, but the faster it goes up, the less pride you feel for actually having higher level jobs.

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.

No. Merciful Twelve, no. I'm -very- happy with the XP curve the way it is. Admittedly I'm the 'ideal case' of "doesn't actually get to XP that often, so I have time / alternate jobs that I wind up doing quests on at the appropriate level", and I love it. I also love knowing I could grind something to 50 super quickly if I wanted, or 30 for an ability, or... whatever. I love knowing that leveling pace actually -doesn't- suddenly slap you in the face once you hit 30 like this is some kind of Korean grindfest. AoE spamming mobs to death, while I've actually had a lot of fun in a perma with friends, is not and never will be content, and if I want to do Toto-Rak on a 'level appropriate' class I can grind CNJ a bit or something.

If you think leveling is too fast, then, uh, slow down! Nobody's forcing you to get XP as fast as humanly possible. Seriously, I completely fail to understand why people seriously say "XP curves need to be steeper". I /like/ XPing and I still prefer shallower XP curves. "Back in my day we walked uphill to school both ways in the snow and levels actually meant something" is not a valid argument. Sorry.

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.

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

requesting more contents is better idea I think
