    Request for a steeper exp curve on levels

    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?

    Rate this thread up if you'd like for a steeper exp curve on the levels.

    The less time I have to spend mindlessly AOE'ing huge packs of mobs the better.

    Content vs Grind argument.

    I vote in favor of content. If they're going to steepen the curve, they better fill the voids with content.

    What they need to do is to stop putting all the content at level 50, start adding some mid range real content and make that curve a lot steeper.

    In FFXI you had your RSE, your AF quests and so on, for example. In XIV it seems everything's put at the end of the line.

    Not to mention you end up selling gear you just bought having barely broken it in.

    You do have Toto-rak Dungeon and tons of midrange NMs. What are you talking about?

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

    You also need to remember that 50 is only the temporary endgame. A year from now, it will likely be the new midgame.

    You are free to hit level 50 in 3 months. No one is stopping you, you can do it but you don't have to do it.

    I like your message but as someone that plays only a few hours on weekends and mostly solo I like the curve the way it is.
