Request for a steeper exp curve on levels

[Engineer]

Honestly i would rather level fast. I really hate grinding, i dont want to play a game just to level up. I want a game with lots of content. If it was up to me, i wouldnt raise the level cap from 50, i mean whats the point of raising it? Content becomes outdated, lower level areas become weak sauce, you have just like 2 good areas to go to thats at your level range, and its just silly to me. Why not keep the level cap at 50, so we have more of a variety of content, weapons, armor, and balancing at that level. Periodically raising the cap hinders us from content , only enabling us to do a few things at that given level. If the cap was kept at 50, i think Merit points would be a much needed addition to satisfy everyone.

It seems that most of you have forgoten that all the AF gear in ff11 was set near the level cap in the game at some point.

screw you losers who want steeper leveling, you people need to get lives. I dont want to spend more time on this crappy game then I have to getting to 50.

And once you are 50 with all classes what then?
Do you end the game because you have all classes to 50 and don't want spend more time in this game? What is the point to play the game at all for you?

OP: +1

Leveling up has gotten way too easy.

In the pastFFXI 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.

Fixed your OP. Levels in this game unfortunately never meant anything because we have never had a working leveling system. The irony is that even though leveling is now easier, it has never been more involved or a test of a player's ability with a class. Previous systems were quite simply broken and rewarded terrible, backwards play.

@ OP, you're confusing hard work with video games. If you want to feel accomplished, shut off your computer and do something in real life. Video games are for fun and they are designed for masses of people since they take hundreds of people working for many years to create. If you want to play a hardcore online game I would recommend Dark Souls since you can profit from your skill in a very unique and lasting way.

i totally disagree with you, solo gaming.. and leveling new classes is MUCH harder than ever before (no phys level, mobs are harder)..

And why do you want to stick to grind?

And i dont think at all that's it too easy!!!!
For me as a casual playing not that often i still dont have a character at lv 50! almost at lv 40 i dont want to go further with my conjurer because its so slowly gaining exp... because doing guildleves as a soloplayer con is really hard since the patch..


And in contrast to this it is much more HARDER to level new low level classes than ever (because there is no phys level anymore). before 1.19. it was VERY easy to push your low level char on your own. 5 star leve? pah* no problem for me ;D

AND Soloplay is much harder than ever (especially for me as a conjurer)

and not only for a con... each class is much more harder solo (even in the low level range lv 1>) than before 1.19. (because there is no overpowered phys level when starting a new char) just try it out.


for me it was very much easier to push my low level chars, because i could go for 5 star leves as a lv 5 class for example, because i had almost phys lv 38


And do not fortget... lv 50 isnt the cap level!! the level will be raised to lv 79>> or so, how we know Square Enix. So when you want to make the exp curve much steeper, than it will get impossible for most people to get even close to endgame content (if we think of a maximum lv of 79 for example)


SO DO NOT FORGET... lv 50 ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO THE FINAL LV CAP!!

i TOTALLY disagree with your opinion. why people DO NOT CONSIDER THIS while complaining about it????!!

I just dont get it! (sorry for the harsh use of capslock and punctuation ;O)

I'm definitely with the OP on this.

And i'm quite speechless seeing so many ppl being happy with the current system of lvling.

That takes what? 5 minutes (10 tops) of practice to master? Don't really think I need to grind for days on end for each new skill I want to learn.

Sorry but no... You don't learn how to tank in 5 mins, neither do you learn to main heal or dd properly. Put two ppl together, one who lvled his job in 3 days and someone else who played it for a year, if they're both good players you'll see the difference in no time. Exceptions might exist, but in most case that's it.

Fixed your OP.

Ya, this thing really getting on my nerves. It's not FXI blah blah blah. Right, it's FFXIV. What in the world would be closer to FFXI than XIV ? I don't get why ppl want something so different. I mean I played this one because i've enjoyed the XI for years and I was expecting something quite similar, at least in terms of game mechanics.

sounds to me like a person having all character classes almost up to lv 50 and havent leveled since patch 1.19.

its a mess since patch 1.19 for leveling solo as a conjurer (you make much less damage than before) and the mobs are much harder than before. it was WAY easy for me pushing low level class characters with my lv 39 physical level (pre patch 1.19) ... now its MUCH MUCH harder .

I mean my linkshell fellow told me when leveling his lv 35 conjurer again "thank god i leveled my thm till maximum lv before patch 1.19. (well im just looking at your char profile)

5 star leves? no problem for me solo as a lv 4 class character.


sorry, doesnt really sound to me that you had experienced the level system since patch 1.19... of wait... you got already your lv 50 thm.
the exp system was broken in some patches before, i think nobody needs to mention this!


the maximum lv cap wont stay at lv 50 at all. so you want to raise the exp curve for now? when we're going to have a maximum cap of lv 79/90 or so?

LOGICALLY conclusion, really! *claps his hands*


me as a casual player, playing not that often, still doesnt have a maximum char. but what i miss isnt a higher exp curve... it's more about the contents!! doin' more than just leves or to grind your ass off.

THAT should be much more important! cant stand your opinion at all, sorry.
