It's time to redesign Level Sync

[Naunet]

the initial leveling process in FFXIV is so very quick

Jobs don't really pick up as far as having a decent range of abilities until 40-50. What's more the overall leveling process is absurdly slow, given that you have to go through every single MSQ (unless you want to give SE money, which is stupid).

And why would a new player invest in a story skip potion just so they can spam PotD? That's absurd.

Hey, I agree with you, it is absurd, but so is the idea that MMORPG players who are renowned for their endurance of long play are unwilling to invest the time needed to learn this game. Since I have seen new sprouts arriving at the gates for Royal Menagerie I can only conclude that leveling and progress in FFXIV is relatively quick.

I am of the mind that these types of games are supposed to take somewhat long, sprg are for finishing the whole game in 30-100 hours.

But I have never timed 1-20. If it takes significantly longer than 4 hours, to start getting into the meat of the game, then it is quite slow. XIII got reamed for that very thing which was a 20 hours tutorial.

The nerf to overworld sprint and no mount until level 20 is probably transparent as tedious to someone coming in who isn't a huge FF fan. I didn't mind it myself until the fourth or fifth job leveling.

I see people at level 50 running from easy fates just because they have no self heals on DPS.

Why isn't Second Wind on a 2.5 cooldown like other usuable self heals for other roles?

I haven't done PotD post Stormblood, can jobs with long cooldown for self heals still solo floors 1-100?
