If your game is really good leveling up should only be a small part of it. Making a long leveling curve is just a tool to mask the lack of content. This games level curve with battle crafting and gathering ends up being far more lengthy than just about any MMO out there as it is. Wanting it to be longer is wanting failure for the game at re-launch. They need to make the game have ALOT more content that is not leveling. I for one think that the battle and gathering side of things is just about right, but I would like to see crafting sped up alot.
