Personally, I virtually guildleve'd my lancer all the way to 50 (I can count on one hand the number of lvl parties I've been in). FFXIV just added the PC search so things may change, but the hassle of putting a party together to grind leves... let's just say I'd rather simply play the game. It seems a lot easier to get people together for the raids than to get from level 20-30...
