It wasn't a literal statement, it has nothing to do with how many jobs I leveled or exactly how many years I played. I feel sorry for any teachers who had to mark your work at school (assuming you've been).

I didn't mean that leveling is hard, it's not, no matter how long it takes you. It should just take longer. Of course a year is an extreme case, because it was my first (others after that were faster) and because I was new to the game. I believe for FFXIV if you play casually (~3 hours / day) it should take you 3-4 months to hit cap on a class. Less if you do the math on however many more hours than that. Leveling isn't something that should happen over a couple days.

It's not a hardcore grind either, SE had it right when they put leves in the game, to mix it up and keep you interested, it worked for me. I'm not talking about DoH classes either, so don't use those as examples.
