I just hit rank 50, took me 6 months because i refused to grind and stuck to leves and then i slacked off a lot between Nov>Feb when SP was bad.

I wouldnt care at all if someone got rank 1-50 in a week on multiple jobs, it doesnt affect my gameplay at all and i'd have the opportunity as well.

Though I think SP is fine because if you put your mind to it you can get it, hell my friend just started archer and after 3 weeks of just pure leves hes already 37 lol, though thats not even half way to 50 another 3 weeks and hes there, so a casual player doing just leves can hit 50 in 6 weeks very easily.

I wouldnt mind it changing but i wouldnt mind it staying. If you play casual stick to leves and you're just gunna have to fail the best ones if you want to get up faster. SE will eventually make more content and more ways to level and more guildleves so its unavoidable that sooner or later, leveling will be upped a little. (Probably bring out XP rings and stuff like from XI)

Also how did this get moved to site feedback?
