~Poll~ Longer fights <Do you want it?>

[Alhanelem]

Time warp to about 8 years ago in FFXI, and be a teen level in the dunes or early 20s in Yuhtunga Jungle. That's probably what he wants. Every fight is like a boss battle. It's fun for a little while, but it starts to wear on you after a while- which is why I'm glad things were later sped up. Boss battle length fights should be reserved for actual battles with bosses.

And it teaches players nothing of endgame tactics they need to learn.

Honestly,t he best way to learn about endgame is, and should be, doing endgame. Leveling never teaches you about endgame in any game. It didn't in FFXI, WoW, or any other MMO i've played. Endgame has a lot more structure and scripting and is different in every way from what even the best leveling experience is like. The best way to learn is to make a mistake and fail. Yes, it sucks but the lessons stick with you.
