How PL'ing killed FFXIV.

[Irondude]

I think part of the frustration is how hard 20-30 is to level and then you hit 35-50 and its like butter. People feel entitled to faster exp, and are unwilling to try a normal party. That last ten to fifteen levels should be the longest, not something you do in a day.

it took me 3 months to get thm to 50 and 2 weeks to get lancer to 50 post 1.19. Yikes that's a huge change. What you are failing to think about is a level cap increase. That will surely bring people back. It's not powerleveling that is killing the game its the exp/difficulty in the strongholds, its just flat out to easy and quick to level.
