I do care, I don't have anybody PLing me nor I do want anybody to PL me, even for free.

I don't get why everybody nowadays seems to be in such a haste to level.
I'm not promoting the days of extreme grinding like in other games where you had to waste a week to gain a single level, that's definitely way too much and anachronistic in 2012.
But making so levelling doesn't matter anymore only generates the unavoidable consequence of players never being satisfied with the speed, wanting more and more, up to the point where you start wondering: why level at all?

If it's such a hindrance, an annoyment, why not making so there's a single level in the game? Let's make so everybody starts the game at max level, actually let's just cut levels out of the game.
I expect this to happen sooner or later from some of the upcoming big MMOs.

Really, I'm not saying developers should exceed in the direction of too much grinding -too much is always too much-, but the opposite excess is not satisfying either for me.
Levelling should be seen as an enjoyable experience that you're willing to do more than once, not as something "slowing you down" on the way to get to the level cap.
I really don't get why 98% of the playerbase see things this way nowadays, it didn't use to be like this 10 years ago.


The thing about THM being able to heal just as fine as CNJ (aside from the differences in job traits) on the first 30 levels really drives me mad. It's actually pretty true, and that's the reason why I'm getting angry.
They did all this class reform revolution to rightfully change the way classes "felt" and were perceived, because people were equipping actions from other classes and the threshold between one class and the other was really too thin. I felt that clearly levelling CNJ and THM, where I could equip CNJ spells on my THM and feel almost like a CNJ, an vice-versa.
So they *rightfully* decide to create a revolution to make so each class feels special and unique an different and what do we get is: "THM can heal just as fine as CNJ for the first 30 levels, using Cure, a CNJ spell".
Now, am I the only one seeing the irony in all of this?
