You can try to deny that PL'ing has not affected the availability of members for regular EXP parties, but that is clearly not the case.

My main character is Gnu Who if you want to check the breakdown of his accomplishments. I take it only fully maxed players with everything completed merit your attention? I can tell you that I have not succeeded at either Darkhold or Ifrit. Do you have a habit of posting player's accomplishments when you disagree with them? I think you are both condescending and lame.

I enjoy playing multiple characters so that I have more opprotunity to party. I really enjoy healing, leveled CON twice. When I hit End-Game (which generally is too demanding in time and attention requiremenets) I just go level something new for fun. That fun has been severely damaged by the availibility of PL'ing (as well as the nerf of low level abilites and low level Leve rewards while sololing).

If EXP parties and casual leveling content are not to be a focus of FFXIV, then I will lose interest. I am not the only one who feels that way. You think SE can afford to ignore the pleas of the casual playerbase?
Honestly speaking if you enjoy xping then there is a concept they added this update that would allow you to xp for as long as you like. Just grab a bunch of gear and keep on spiritbonding til you get bored of accumulating xp lol. At 50 you have a great chance of obtaining lv 3-4 materia to use and if the demand for them is high not only can you obtain xp but you can also make gil based on the materia is have claimed.
